The shooting reportedly started in the food court. A witness says store employees let her and many other shoppers out the back doors before closing the steel shutters.

OregonLive is reporting two dead. Earlier, KATU reported up to sixty shots fired; OLive is repeating this. Local sports guy John Canzano was in the parking lot, and I believe he was the source of the initial injury reports. There are reports also that the shooter fled into Macys when his rifle jammed.

The rifle may be an AR-15. Some reports say deputies found a full magazine on the floor.

Police are shutting down I-205 near Clackamas Town Center. Avoid the area.

I should add, we (Oregon) don't get this kind of thing often. We had one of the big school shootings years ago in Springfield, but I can't remember a big shooting spree here in recent years.

Witness telling KGW he heard between 9 and 15 shots in rapid succession. AMR (ambulance) has confirmed to KGW that they are transporting one person.

OLive now reporting seven people injured, two dead. AMR has multiple ambulances scrambling. If you're in the Clackamas Town Center area, get off your cellphone. The towers are overloading.

Police PIO: "We believe the shooter has been neutralized."

PIO: "There are confirmed dead. I don't have numbers...Lifeflight is on the scene to treat at least one injured person."

And with that, I'm ending my updates. Gods bless us all. :(

One last one, so you don't have to scroll down: The male shooter is dead. Two more people are dead. One person is confirmed injured. People are still inside the mall as the police are slowly clearing stores one by one. BTW, I called the PIO "police," but in actual fact he's from Clackamas County Sheriffs. I was typing fast. Sheriffs Office says if you're a witness, they want to hear from you.
