(AP Photo) Man Linked to Deaths of Four Women in Oregon Fears a serial killer was targeting young women (AP)- A man being investi- gated in the deaths of four wom- en in Oregon had previously at- tacked and choked one of them, her father said. But the man was not arrested until months later — only after the women’s bodies were discovered scattered across northwest Oregon. The bodies had raised fears a serial killer was targeting young women in the area. The Mult- nomah County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday that in- vestigators and prosecutors from nine law enforcement agencies have found links between the four deaths, with at least one person of interest identified. The statement did not name the person, but a law enforcement official with knowledge of the in- vestigation said Tuesday it is Jesse Lee Calhoun.

In an updated hospital state- ment Legacy said they will install metal detectors with bag search at every Legacy hospital. All pa- tients and visitors will enter the hospitals through controlled ac- cess points with metal detection and bag search. Certain hospitals will see metal detectors installed as soon as next week on Monday. They will also install bullet-slow film on the hospital main entranc- es and emergency departments and on glass in internal entrances, along with equipping lead security officers with tasers. These safety measures come shortly after the fatal shooting of security guard Bobby Smallwood. 44 year old Bobby Smallwood Officers responded to a call of a shooting inside Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital. The victim of the shooting inside the hospi- tal was identified as 44-year-old Bobby Smallwood. The Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his manner and cause of death to be homicide by gunshot wound. The suspect who fled the scene was shot and killed by police later in the day. The suspect has been identified as PoniaX Kane Calles, formerly known as Reginald Kane Jackson. Calles had threatened staff at the hospital in recent days, according to The Oregonian. The paper was the first to report his identity and also reported that the 33-year-old Portland resident changed his name in 2019, and that he has a lengthy criminal his- tory, mostly under the prior name. Legacy Health’s president and CEO Kathryn Correia stated “We have begun to develop a second phase of actions, and that work will continue over the next several months. This includes assessing the safety needs at our medical office buildings and our commu- nity-based clinics and reviewing locations that may need additional safety measures, including badge access controls, panic alarms and security cameras.”
