Jacob Voorhees Shops at Oregon Mall

Two days before Newtown.... 

Ore. mall shooter used stolen gun, officials say

Jacob Tyler Roberts, wearing a hockey-style face mask, parked his 1996 green Volkswagen Jetta in front of the second-floor entrance to Macy’s and walked briskly through the store, into the mall, and began firing randomly, police said. Roberts then fled along a mall corridor and into a back hallway, down stairs, and into a corner where police found him dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, authorities said." 

It may very well be what happened; however, it does start reading like a script.

"Suspect in Oregon shooting rampage talked of Hawaii" by Rachel LaCorte and Steven DuBois  |  Associated Press, December 14, 2012

PORTLAND, Ore. — Although officials have not revealed a motive, a clearer picture of Jacob Tyler Roberts is emerging. His mother died of cancer when he was young; he was thrown out of his aunt’s house as a teenager; he had lived with roommate Jaime Eheler’s family for a while and he had told friends of plans to live in Hawaii for a year....

The Clackamas County sheriff’s office said Roberts had several fully loaded magazines when he arrived at the mall Tuesday as thousands did their Christmas shopping. Roberts parked his 1996 Volkswagen Jetta in front of the second-floor entrance to Macy’s and walked through the store into the mall and began firing randomly in the food court, authorities said.

No mention of the hockey mask?

He fatally shot Steven Mathew Forsyth, 45, and Cindy Ann Yuille, 54, the sheriff said. Kristina Shevchenko, 15, was wounded and in serious condition Thursday.

Eheler said Roberts had recently quit his job at a gyro shop in Portland, sold his belongings, and put his car up for sale on Craigslist in advance of his planned move to Hawaii.

She said that his decision to move to the islands caught her by surprise, but only a little bit. She said he told her he planned to live off the interest of an inheritance that he had invested, and that he planned to return Oct. 25, 2013.

‘‘He’s adventurous,’’ she said. ‘‘That’s who he is.’’

Roberts’s former girlfriend, Hannah Patricia Sansburn, told ABC World News with Diane Sawyer that he was supposed to catch a flight Saturday, but told her he got drunk and had missed it.

The owner of Big Bertha’s, where Roberts most recently worked, threw a going away party for him last week.

‘‘His nickname there at the shop was ‘The Kid,’ ’’ said Thomas Illk, father of Tommy Illk, who owns the shop. ‘‘Tommy is just devastated. He was like a little brother to him.’’

Police say Roberts had stolen an AR-15 rifle from someone he knew. Authorities said that after the shootings, Roberts fled along a mall corridor and into a back hallway, down stairs and into a corner where police found him dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.

The shooting confounds Eheler. She said she knew that Roberts had gone target practice shooting in the past, but she said there were no guns in her house, and she had never seen him with one.

‘‘I can’t wrap my mind around it, I can’t understand,’’ she said. ‘‘I sit here and think, and I think, and I think, and I can’t come up with one reason why he would do this.’’

Eheler said that she later learned that he had stopped at her brother Tyler’s home on the way to the mall. Tyler Eheler and Roberts had been best friends since high school, she said.

‘‘He came in and hung out for a minute and told him that he had to go and that he didn’t want to,’’ she said, and added that he gave her brother a bracelet that he always wore, and hugged him. ‘‘He told him he was just going somewhere south, somewhere warm and not to tell me or my boyfriend that he had left until the next day.’’

Another friend who said she had known Roberts since middle school, Shania Riley, described him as a ‘‘very compassionate and very caring person.’’ Roberts could also be ‘‘mysterious’’ and ‘‘kind of a troublemaker.’’
