A man killed his mother and stepfather, his girlfriend and his 9-month-old daughter late Saturday before Clackamas County deputies shot and killed him.
Police said they received a domestic violence call to a home on the 32000 block of South Barlow Road, in rural Woodburn, around 10 p.m. Saturday. They arrived to find Mark Leo Gregory Gago, 42, attempting to kill a child when deputies shot him. Four other people were already dead.
- Olivia Lynn Rose Gago, 9 months
- Shaina E. Sweitzer, 31
- Jerry William Bremer, 66
- Pamela Denise Bremer, 64
"Upon arrival, deputies were involved in a deadly force situation in which the homicide suspect was killed," according to a statement from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Gago, whose address is listed as the South Barlow Road house in recent court records, was due before a judge in March for contempt of court over his repeated failure to pay child support stemming from a 2004 divorce.
He was charged with assault in 2001 and again in 2005, but both those cases were eventually dismissed.
