Three Dead In Shooting At Oregon Mall

Three dead in shooting at the Oregon Mall yesterday afternoon just outside of Portland, OR at the Clackamas Town Center.

The gunman was carrying an AR-15, which is a semi-automatic rifle that he fired in the middle of the food court. This is also the same weapon that James Holmes used during his shooting this past summer.

The gunman was wearing camouflage, body armor and a white hockey mask.

After firing what was said to be possibly 20-60 rounds, two people were killed and one person was severely injured.

The gunman was also found dead, as police reported that he killed himself after the shooting. No shots were fired by law enforcement officers.
