A masked gunman opened fire inside an Oregon shopping mall on Tuesday in the middle of Christmas season, killing at least two people and critically wounding a young woman before taking his own life, police said. The shooting took place around 3:30pm in Clackamas Town Center in Happy Valley, Oregon. The police say the shooter has been identified, but they have not yet released his name. The shooter, who appeared to be a young teenager, was wearing a white hockey mask, black clothing, a bullet proof vest, and possibly body armor and was armed with an assault rifle, said witnesses. He entered through a Macy's store and proceeded to the foot court and public areas firing rounds, according to eyewitness reports. The shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing two people and wounding at least several others. Witnesses report hearing as many as 20 to 60 shots. It is believed the rifle jammed at one point and the suspect dropped the magazine, only to pick it up and put it back in again.
