    PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A gunman opened fire in a suburban Portland shopping mall Tuesday, killing two people and wounding another as people were doing their Christmas shopping, authorities said.

    Witnesses described a scene of chaos and disbelief as a gunman wearing some sort of camouflage outfit and a white mask shot an initial burst of fire and then more rounds at Clackamas Town Center. Shoppers tried to find safe areas as teams of police officers began entering the mall to find the shooter.

    Austin Patty, 20, who works at Macy's, said he saw a man in a white mask carrying a rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest.

    He heard the gunman say "I am the shooter," as if announcing himself, Patty said. He then fired several shots paced seconds apart.

    A series of rapid-fire shots in short succession followed. Patty said he ducked to the ground, then ran.

    His Macy's co-worker, Pam Moore, told The Associated Press the gunman was short, with dark hair, dressed in camouflage. He had body armor and a rifle.

    So sad. People are crazy and don't respect life.

    Last time, it involved the release of the Dark Knight Rises, and this time..it's about Christmas. I wonder if he's trying to reenact a Call of Duty scene.
