The shooter murdered two innocents before committing suicide.

More on the shooter Jacob Tyler Roberts.
The Oregonian reported:
Jacob Tyler Roberts, 22, was the masked man who stormed into Clackamas Town Center Tuesday afternoon, fatally shooting two people and wounding another before turning a gun on himself, police said.
Roberts does not appear to have a criminal history in Oregon, according to court records. He had two speeding tickets earlier this year.
