(KGW) PORTLAND, Ore. — A man and a woman were killed in a shooting at a Tualatin drug testing center Tuesday, according to Tualatin Police Department.
Police Chief Kent Baker said a man armed with a rifle entered the Legacy Metro Lab drug testing center at 7587 SW Mohawk St. and began firing.
A woman was killed. At least two others were injured. The suspect was later found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot, Baker said.
Baker could not say for certain how many people were in the drug testing center when the shooter opened fire.
The gunman’s motive was unknown. It was unclear what relationship, if any, he had with the lab or anyone there.
Well, I have a theory. See if you can help me connect the dots:
- The US unemployment rate for September ‘09 was a seasonally-adjusted 9.8%
- The unemployment rate for Oregon was 11.5%
- The unemployment rate for the Portland metro area was 11.7%
- Oregon’s home foreclosure rate is the highest it’s been since the 1980s
- Failing a workplace drug test can mean the loss of your job.
- Losing your job can mean the loss of your home.
Sure, the fact that the shooting happened at a drug testing facility may be just coincidence. Maybe he’s been dumped by a woman who works there. Maybe he used to work there and got fired. But I’ve got my money on “working man with long career loses job because of drug test, returns to exact his revenge.”
