Oregon police identified the shooter in a shooting incident at Reynolds High School in Portland, Oregon.
Troutdale, Oregon Police Chief Scott Anderson identified him as 15-year-old Jared Michael Padgett, a freshman at the school.
Police also said that Padgett carried an AR-15, a handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Padgett, according to Anderson, came to school carrying a guitar case and duffel bag. He came to school via the bus.
Two people died, including Padgett, in the shooting, according to police.
“Given the weapons and the amount of ammunition that the shooter was carrying the early notification and the initial law enforcement response were critical,” Anderson said.
But obviously more guns, more widely available is the solution.
if he had a larger magazine perhaps he would not have had to shoot himself. Our trolls will show up soon to defend his rights to kill others with a military assault style weapon.
He was obviously insane but that point is moot. Anyone who kills another human being is insane at the moment they pull the trigger.
Here’s an thought…whose gun was it and how hard will the legal system come down on that person?
thirty minutes later
I just heard on OPB that the weapons were from his own home, they were secured but that he was able to “defeat” the security. He had nine additional magazines with over 300 rounds of ammunition, a handgun too.
So his parents needed nine magazine with over 300 rounds? For Fucking what??
I’m sorry that their kid killed himself but I’m overjoyed that the little shit was cornered in that bathroom by the two resource officers before more carnage took place.
His parents need to be met with the full force of any and all applicable Oregon laws.
“Jared” seems to be a problem first name.
AR-15…the deranged little punk bitch weapon of choice.
Ya know, if I ever had to dispossess one of these assholes of their precious toy, I wouldn’t even shoot 'em with it. I’d beat the shit out of them with it instead.
If you see a gun, call 911!
