PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Medical helicopters will not be landing at OHSU Saturday night because of reports lasers may be shined at Customs and Border Patrol helicopters sent in to support ICE operations.

Officials with OHSU said Life Flight will land at other airports and patients will be taken to the hospital by ambulance, which could take as much as an hour. For patients with serious injuries, the delay could have real impacts, OHSU said.

In making this announcement, OHSU sent a picture of a flyer circulating that called for people to shine their lasers at 9 p.m. The flyer, headlined, "You're Invited: Laser Tag," encourages people to "unleash your beam at the cop copter" but make sure to "leave home …. mask up" and go to a park or an open field.

It's unclear where the flyer came from
