Clackamas Town Center shooting

The gunman, 22-year-old Jacob Tyler Roberts, ran into the shopping center wearing black clothing and a white expressionless facial mask and sporadically opened fire using a Stag Arms AR-15 rifle stolen from a friend.

Having attempted to reload his weapon and dropping three magazines, Roberts entered an employee-only back stairwell that runs behind all stores in the mall and committed suicide after descending one level.

Immediately before the shooting, he visited a friend who lived two miles away from the Clackamas Town Center, smoked marijuana with him, and claimed that he was moving to Hawaii.

People who first saw him run into the mall believed the tactical clothing and hockey mask were a paintball outfit and that the rifle was a toy.

[5] At this point, hundreds of people fled the mall after hearing the gunshots, but many remained inside and dashed to cover.

[6] Roberts then ran into a back storage corridor, where he encountered employee Rok Sang Kim, who had returned from recycling boxes and therefore hadn't heard the gunfire.

Police responded to the scene minutes later and spent the following hours searching the mall for hiding civilians, injured victims, and a possible second shooter, while dozens of ambulances arrived with the expectations of treating dozens of wounded victims, but treated only Kristina Shevchenko for a serious gunshot wound.

[1] Vanessa Ogden, the manager of Justice, was a pregnant woman who secured shoppers in their backroom as they hid from the shooter.

Hawthorne Blvd., a popular late-night eatery in the infamous "Barmuda Triangle" known for six hard pouring bars within a two-block radius.

He had plans of joining the United States Marine Corps, but he abandoned these dreams after a bicycle accident that broke his foot.

Over the month prior to the shooting, Jacob had slowly sold his belongings, including a legal handgun, resigned from his job at the gyro shop, and told his friends and colleagues that he was planning to move to Hawaii.
