One witness, John, told KOIN 6 News that he was out to dinner with his girlfriend when “we started hearing gunshots.” John heard the initial gunfire outside the Clackamas Town Centre — “there’s probably about ten rounds there” — and reacted quickly. “Everybody was attempting to save lives. That’s what was going on,” he explained. “I just saw those trees over there, and my natural impulse was to plunge in. “She was coming with me.”

Thompson said deputies arrived at the mall in minutes. “At this point, they did not locate any victims or suspects at the mall.” Investigators interviewed many witnesses who remained at the mall. They’re collecting video footage from the cameras to figure out what happened. The sheriff’s office feels this is an isolated incident. “There is always that chance when you come here,” he remarked. “Generally, this is a family-oriented, safe place to come.”
