Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts this morning during a press conference identified the gunman who yesterday went on a shooting rampage as 22 year old Jacob Tyler Roberts.

The sheriff went on to say Roberts used a stolen AR-15 semiautomatic rifle in the shooting, which he took from someone he knew.

According to cbs the two victims who died in yesterday’s attack were identified as 54-year-old Cindy Ann Yule and 45-year-old Stephen Matthew Forsyth. A third shooting victim, 15 year old Kristina Shevchenko, remains in serious condition at Oregon Health & Science University.

The sheriff went on to say that the rifle that Roberts used during yesterday’s shoot out jammed, nonetheless the gunman managed to get it working again. He went on to say that the death toll would have been higher had the shooter’s rifle not jammed.
