Jessie Kwak had spent a long Saturday in July selling her science fiction and thriller books at the Mississippi Street Fair and was daydreaming about dinner as she rode home with a friend about 8:15 p.m.

As they pulled behind a car stopped at a stop sign not far from the fair in North Portland, Kwak thought she heard fireworks.

But their front windshield “exploded” and Kwak said she suddenly felt a “weird, hot pressure” in her left eye and noticed blood gushing everywhere.

Now two months later, Kwak said she’s speaking publicly about the shooting and the aftermath as a state judge prepares to hold a trial starting Monday on the constitutionality of Oregon’s gun control Measure 114.
