Mystery motive in Salem tavern shootings leaves questions
A silent gunman opened fire at the Oregon Museum Tavern on Ladies Night, killing four and wounding 19 as he allegedly reloaded twice. Witnesses recalled rapid shots and chaos while Lawrence Moore, 25, of Scio, was arrested after a brief courthouse appearance. A May 15 preliminary hearing was set on four murder counts, with defense aid to be provided if indigent.
