A King County jury found Aaron Ybarra guilty of first-degree murder, three counts of attempted murder and one account of assault for the attack at Seattle Pacific University that killed 19-year-old Paul Lee, of Port- land. During the shooting, student building monitor Jon Meis pepper- sprayed and tackled Ybarra as he paused to reload his shotgun, likely preventing further carnage, authorities and university officials have said. Jurors began deliberating BRIEFLY State to seek death penalty for Oregon man accused of murder BEND (AP) — Officials say the state will seek a sentence of death against a Redmond man charged with killing a woman whose body was found near a highway. Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said that he informed the court of the state’s intention. Edwin Lara is charged with murder in the July death of 23-year-old Kaylee Sawyer. Authorities say Lara, a security officer at Central Oregon Community College, kidnapped and tried to sexually assault Sawyer as she took a late-night walk near campus and then killed her to cover up his crimes. Hummel says he made the decision after considering the facts of the case and with input of Sawyer’s family, law enforcement and the requirements of the law. Police arrest man for vandalism during anti-Trump riot PORTLAND (AP) — Portland police have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with vandalism during a protest against President-elect Donald Trump over the weekend. Portland Police said they arrested Mateen Abdul Shaheed on Tuesday at a residence in Estacada. Police say Shaheed was involved in numerous acts of vandalism during a protest turned riot, including damaging vehicles at Toyota dealership. Police say Shaheed was booked into Multnomah County Jail on six counts of criminal mischief. Status update due for upcoming Malheur refuge takeover trial SALEM (AP) — Lawyers for six men and one woman who are to stand trial for the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge takeover are waiting for the government to determine how it wants to proceed. A status report is due from prosecutors by midnight Wednesday. Jesse Merrithew, one of the defense lawyers, says he has laid out the defense elements, including a request for timetables for motions to be filed and for jury summons.

Ybarra showed little emotion as the verdict was read in King County Superior Court, The Seattle Times reported. He faces 88 to 111 years in prison when sentenced in January. As he left the courtroom Wednesday, Ybarra said he wished the shooting had never happened, KIRO-TV in Seattle reported. Ybarra had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Defense attorney Ramona Brandes had sought to show that Ybarra suffered from a debilitating mental illness and limited intellectual func- tion and that he believed God was directing him to shoot. Prosecutors acknowl- edged that Ybarra was mentally ill but argued that the Seattle-area resident knew what he did was wrong. King County Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kristin Richardson told jurors during closing argu- ments that Ybarra didn’t mention God, Satan or Lucifer directing him to carry out the rampage until months after the shootings. The trial, which began Oct. 10, included testimony from Ybarra as well as Meis, who was hailed as a hero for taking down the gunman during the June 5, 2014, shooting. Meis testified at trial that he waited to hear the gunman reload his shotgun, took pepper spray out of his back- pack and sprayed the gunman in the face twice, KING-TV in Seattle reported. Surveillance video showed Meis wrestling the shotgun away, stashing it in an office and returning to tackle Ybarra again as Ybarra struggles to pull a knife. Ybarra testified that he was compelled by the voices of God, Lucifer and Satan to carry out a campus shooting, the Times reported. He also said he heard the voice of Eric Harris, one of two students who carried out the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado. Jurors also took a short field trip to the campus hall where the shooting occurred. One proposal submitted to buy the Elliott By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau SALEM — The sole proposal to purchase a large swath of state forest in Douglas and Coos counties was submitted jointly by a Roseburg-based timber company, Lone Rock Resources, and the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians, according to the Department of State Lands. An 82,500-acre parcel of the Elliott State Forest is up for sale for $220.8 million, and although more than 40 groups had previously expressed interest in the land, only one acquisition plan was submitted to the state by its Tuesday evening deadline. Jake Gibbs, a spokesman for Lone Rock Resources, said that the company plans to take on 83 percent of the costs of acquiring the land, while the Cow Creek Band will incur 17 percent. Under the proposal, The Conservation Fund — a conservation group out based in Arlington, Va., — and the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, would hold conservation easement agreements to enforce the state’s public benefit requirements. The eventual buyer will be required to provide 40 direct or indirect jobs for 10 years; maintain public access on half the land; keep 25 percent of old forest stands; and maintain riparian areas along streams for fish health. In a statement, Dan Courtney, the Cow Creek chairman, called the part- nership with Lone Rock “unique” and said it advanced the tribe’s goal of restoring land “for the community and tribe’s future generations.” Courtney also said the sale would help provide a more predictable revenue stream for state schools while preserving public benefits.

However, that fund has lost about $4 million since 2013, after new limitations to the state’s logging on the Elliott Forest were imposed, the department says. Envi- ronmental groups had sued the state challenging its logging in areas home to the marbled murrelet, which is protected under the Endan- gered Species Act. Proceeds from the sale will be invested in the Common School Fund. The department is next expected to evaluate the plan for responsiveness to its transfer criteria, and the State Land Board — which includes the governor, secre- tary of state and treasurer — is scheduled to meet Dec. 13. The board has the final sale in whether the sale goes forward. Many environmental groups and activists have opposed the sale of the Elliott to private interests and wish to see it stay in public hands.
