Clackamas Town Center set to reopen Friday, vigil held that night
CLACKAMAS, Ore. - The Clackamas Town Center, scene of a mass shooting on Tuesday, will reopen Friday, officials said on the mall's website and Facebook page.
"We will reopen tomorrow morning, December 14, at 9 a.m. Additionally, we will be holding a candlelight vigil for the victims and the community," the post read Thursday morning. "Please continue to keep the victims, their families and the entire community in your prayers during this difficult time."
The vigil will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday at the mall entrance near the Starbucks.
Claiming items left the mall
Shoppers who left items at the mall during the shooting will be able to reclaim them during regular mall hours on December 14 and 15.
People can pick up items next to the management office on the lower level of the mall. The office is down the hall between AT&T and The Buckle. After Saturday, items can be picked up in the mall security office near the food court.
If you left items in a retail store, the mall encourages you to check with the store first.
Transit service resumes
Meanwhile, TriMet said it will resume regular operations on Friday at the Clackamas Town Center Transit Center and mall bus stops.
However, beginning at 1 p.m., the buses will once again detour from the parking lot using the same route and serving the same temporary stops as they have been since Tuesday's shooting.
TriMet has scheduled afternoon detours to run through Sunday, officials said.
Two people were killed and a teenage girl was injured when a gunman, identified by investigators as Jacob Tyler Roberts, 22, opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle inside the mall Tuesday afternoon.
Investigators said Roberts shot and killed himself inside the mall.
Steve Forsyth, 45, of West Linn and Cindy Ann Yuille, 54, of Portland died in the shooting. Kristina Shevchenko, 15, was shot and seriously injured. She remains hospitalized.
The Mall misses Tonya Harding skating, the good old days of cracking knees and beating boyfriends. When come a long way. Maybe the potsmoking and polesmoking laws caused yhe shooting?
 @BREAKING NEWS !!! I used to patrol that area and went in on occasion to watch her skate. The finest technical skater this country ever produced...Â
I'm done with my shopping but will find a few things visit the mall for, over the weekend. I see it as a show of support.
I think about the lost incomes for the employees of the mall especially with economic times being as they are. I also think about the loss of their security going to work again. More victims. This is so unbelievably sad.Â

Â
We remember the victims, we talk about them and we respect their families.
Â
Then we go back to as normal as we can. Not because we forget, but because if we allow one monster to rule and become slave to our fear, it will be the next monster who will want to capitalize on that to get fame for themselves.
Â
No one will forget the loss, and no one should forget the heroes. But as soon as we regain our sense of normalcy, we take the power away from people who want us to remember them and tremble.
Â
I won't recall the person's name that did this. But I will recall Nurse Smith, Mrs. Yuille, Mr. Forsyth and Miss Shevchenko.

 @Repoman  @Somonecaresaboutsomething I will remember the shooter for the simple fact that it reminds me that this can happen, the same when I go to a movie, or get on a plane. Will I act differently? no, will I be afraid? absolutely not, but I will pay attention to what's going on around me.
@Lips @deejm2112 @Repoman @Somonecaresaboutsomething Great comments in this little string, everybody. Much appreciated.
 @Lips  @deejm2112  @Repoman  @Somonecaresaboutsomething ~  VERY nice posts, everyone..!  If we can keep these good feelings with us...if what has happened helps us to think more about others... then the ones who died will not have died in vain...Â
 @deejm2112  @Repoman  @Somonecaresaboutsomething I'll act differently. I was at the mall the night before. I know I walked passed Mr. Forsyth kiosk. Did I notice him? Did I smile? I'm going to remind myself to be kind to strangers. It could be the last face you see. And although the odds aren't it won't be, it will still make the world a better place.
