Portland, Oregon – A shooting at Silver Lake in Wash. near Castle Rock on Wednesday left two people dead. The incident unfolded when Cowlitz County deputies responded to reports of a man being shot at an RV park by the lake.
As law enforcement agencies, including the Lower Columbia SWAT, arrived on the scene, they discovered that the shooter had barricaded himself inside a motor home with a handgun. A drone was deployed into the RV, revealing an 83-year-old man deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Simultaneously, medical aid was administered to a 56-year-old man who had been shot on the property. Despite efforts to save him, he succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Witnesses recounted the chaotic events, with one individual describing the scene as unexpected and unsettling in a typically family-friendly environment.
The 56-year-old victim was identified as the property owner of the RV park, allegedly shot in the boat house before the shooter proceeded to wander the park with his weapon. The tragic sequence of events culminated in the shooter entering his RV and taking his own life.
