In Portland, Oregon a crazy sociopath (Jacob Tyler Roberts, 22) shoots and kills three people in an Oregon mall Dec 11. The shooter had a rifle and a hockey mask on his face, and went store to store firing at least twenty shots, killing three people. Shevchenko, 15 was shot with a chest wound and was taken to a hospital for surgery. Families of the victims who died Yuille and Forsyth had brief comments: "Yuille was remembered as EverReady's friend who put others first, and Forsyth had two children, a great sense of humor and a zest for life. The shooter killed himself from a self inflicted gunshot, when he knew he couldn't run away from the police. Witness David Moran, mall employee said "The gunshots were so loud, it was very scary... kids were crying. Parents were crying too." There were many more witnesses.
Analysis:
I think the Oregon Shooting was a very sad day, and scary for the people that were in the mall at the time of the incident. I think the shooter had a mental breakdown, so he killed three people and injured a few other people, also killing himself at the mall, because there was no escape. Many witnesses said they heard everyone screaming,when they heard the gunshots getting closer they thought they were going to get shot. Friends of the shooter were shocked when they heard who it was. I hope the families of the victims, can get through the tragic loses.
I think there was a lot more to the mental state of the shooter. Apparently, he had sold all of his possessions and planned to "go away".
