Jury convicts man in fatal shooting at Seattle university
S E AT T L E
(AP) — A man
prosecutors
say
was motivated by
anger and hatred
was
convicted
Wednesday
for
fatally
shooting
a student and
wounding
two
others at a small Ybarra
private
Seattle
university in 2014.
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.

the case Monday afternoon
following several weeks of
testimony.
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.

COURT & MAIN, PENDLETON
State Lands is required
under the state’s constitution
to maximize revenue from
natural resources on state
trust lands for the benefit of
public schools through the
Common School Fund.
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.
