PORTLAND, Ore. -- Sheriff's deputies say there has been a shooting in a shopping mall near Portland, Ore.

One witness at the Clackamas Town Center told television station KATU at least two people were shot, and he saw sheets put over them.

Another witness told the station she saw people screaming and parents grabbing their children as they fled the mall.

That witness said the gunman had a rifle and was wearing a camouflage outfit and a mask.

Another witness said ambulances were arriving at the scene.

Entrances to the mall have been blocked off.

No further details were immediately available from the Clackamas County sheriff's office.

A shooting at a mall in Portland, Ore., on Tuesday afternoon left three people dead, including the gunman, and at least one other person injured, police said.


Lt. James Rhodes of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said the gunman shot two people to death and also died, but he did not say how the gunman died. Rhodes said another person was wounded and sent to a hospital.
Rhodes said police do not believe there was a second shooter.

The shooting, which occurred around 3:20 p.m., during the busy holiday shopping season caused panic in the mall. The shooting took place in the food court near the Macy's at Clackamas Town Center.

A woman who answered the phone at Chipotle in the mall told NBC News that someone ran in and yelled, “It’s a shooting, it’s a shooting.”

She said employees shut the restaurant doors. She said the mall was crawling with police.

Rhodes said some people had hidden in break rooms and bathrooms in the mall and that teams of police were working their way through the mall to bring them out. He asked family members for patience and said people inside would eventually be let out of the mall. He said said the number of people in the area had overwhelmed cell towers.
Oregon Health Science University, one of two level-one trauma centers in the Portland area, reported that one person had been admitted to the hospital.

Legacy Emanuel Hospital, the other level-one center, said no patients had been admitted as of 5:15 p.m. local time (8:15 p.m. ET).
KGW.com reported that the shooter was wearing a hockey mask, but it did not cite a source for the information.

Witness Amber Tate told KATU of Portland that she was standing in the parking lot when she spotted a gunman wearing a camouflage shirt and what looked like a bulletproof vest. Tate said he looked like a teenager.

Pedro Garcia, 24, told the Oregonian that he was headed to Panera Bread Co. to buy sandwiches when he heard at least six shots.
"I could smell the gunpowder," Garcia said. "That's what pretty much what made me run."
