PORTLAND – Three people were hit in a shooting at Clackamas Town Center Tuesday afternoon, according to American Medical Response.

Ten to 15 shots were fired by a person in a hockey mask, AMR said.

The mall was locked down, according to an employee at Nordstrom. A witness told KGW she heard several gunshots near there, before people ran out of the mall.

Clackamas County Sheriff's deputies said it was an "active shooting call."

“A deputy is about 50 yards away from me. He has a shotgun out, he’s hiding behind a car,” said John Canzano, a well-known local sports columnist.

Canzano said all the store security cages were immediately closed.

Several police agencies and emergency vehicles were on the scene and the suspect was still inside the mall.

A witness reported the suspect had a rifle and it jammed, before he dropped a magazine onto the floor and ran into the Macy's.

Witness Benjamin Christensen, who works in the mall, said he was there when the shooting began. He heard one shot, then six or seven more. He then began helping to evacuate others out of the rear exits.

60 shots fired?

Fuck?

A fucking assault rifle? What the fuck. Fucking insane people man... The fucking shit jammed thank goodness..
 
What motivates people to do this? Is it hatred? Depression? Perhaps they want to be remembered? Why?

Do we have any psych profiles on past public shooters?
 
Damn. Hope everyone (except for the gunner) are okay. :-(
 
Just got home from Portland when this came on the radio. Interstate 205 south about to be completely closed near the mall.

This shit is crazy. I have a lot of friends in that area, I hope they're all okay. :(
 
This is horrible. I'm glad the mall security kicked in so quickly. Props to them for possibly saving the lives they did. My condolences to the families of those lost.


Edit: Annnnnnnd here it comes.

Same =( I have checked on as many as I can already, about to hit tri-met myself which I expect to be slightly effed.
 
I'm still in Eugene for another week, but gf is fine in Portland. Crazy to have something like this happen in your own city.
 
Damn, this can happen anywhere. I was at the mall last night doing Christmas shopping for my wife and newborn for 3-4 hours. This person is insane.
