A man allegedly shot two adult victims in the parking lot of an elementary school and later shot himself in Vancouver, Washington, on November 26.
Following the incident at the Sarah J. Anderson Elementary School, located 15 miles north of Portland, Oregon, there was no active threat to citizens, nor an active shooter, the Clark county sheriff’s office said in a statement.
The shooting was the result of an ongoing situation involving domestic violence, according to Sgt. Brent Waddell, Oregon Live reported.
After the deputies arrived at the school, they located two victims, obtained descriptions of the suspect and his vehicle, and pursued him, according to a statement made by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
