Officers determined the head the man was carrying belonged to his mother, the Sandy Police Department said. An autopsy was underway Monday on the body of Tina Marie Webb, 59, the same day that her son, 36-year-old Joshua Lee Webb, was booked on charges of murder and attempted murder in the case. He has not yet made a court appearance. The gruesome chain of events unfolded in two tiny, rural towns once known for logging about 30 miles south of Portland and sent shock waves through Estacada, where most people knew the white-haired checkout clerk identified as 66-year-old Michael Wagner for his warmth and quick sense of humor. David Webb, the father of Joshua Lee Webb, sobbed as he strug- gled to process his wife’s death and his son’s arrest in one horrible day. Joshua Webb Webb had vision prob- lems and received Social Security payments, his father said. He lived at home so his parents could care for him, his father said, adding that they had recently bought him a dog because he wanted one. His mother had said she believed her son was depressed, but David Webb said he never saw any indi- cation of that when he spoke with his son. “I never foresaw a problem. If I had I would have stopped it,” David Webb said, before bursting into loud sobs during a phone interview with The Associated Press. “I just can’t believe I lost my wife and son in one day. ... I don’t know. I wish I did. I wish I had some answers, but I don’t. I waited all my life to retire with my wife, and now I can’t. That’s all I know.” The bizarre sequence began Sunday afternoon — Mother’s Day — in Colton, a once-signifi- cant logging down about 40 miles southeast of Portland. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said Webb killed his mother at their rural home, but it did not provide more details. Joshua Webb then showed up at a Thriftway in downtown Estacada, about 12 miles to the north. When he entered the small grocery store, he was covered in blood, had a large “kitch- en-type” knife and was carrying a severed human head, authorities said. He began stabbing a store employee, but he was quickly overwhelmed by other employees, who held him until police arrived, authorities said. “He didn’t say anything after he was subdued,” said Ernie Roberts, interim police chief in nearby Sandy, Oregon, said Monday. “He was in like a cata- tonic state, wasn’t speaking to anybody,” Roberts said, adding that the only thing he said during the encounter before his arrest was that he was thirsty. Sandy provides police services for Estacada, which also has around 2,500 residents. Wagner, the grocery store checkout clerk, was hospi- talized and was expected to survive. Residents who gathered outside the police tape Monday said Wagner had worked for years at the store, first at the produce department and then at the checkout counter. Customers stopped by in a steady stream to drop off balloons as a tribute in front of the store and to sign a giant get-well poster. A small collection of candles L i t t le D a r l i n gs !

PUBLISHES: Oregon House passes bill to exempt legislators’ email lists from disclosure By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau SALEM — The Oregon House of Representatives has passed a bill 36-to-21 that exempts legislators’ email lists from disclosure under the public records law. The bill makes an excep- tion for lawmakers’ own campaigns, which still would be entitled to access the email addresses under law. Rep. Phil Barnhart, D-Eu- gene, sponsored the bill after his office and several other legislative offices received public records requests from Richard Ellmyer, owner of a political newsletter, in December 2015 for email addresses of people who had subscribed to the lawmakers’ newsletters. In 2013, Democrats, including Barnhart, spon- sored and passed similar legislation to make state agencies’ email lists exempt from disclosure. The law was a response to a controversy in 2012 over former legislator Dennis Richardson’s use of the public records law to obtain nearly 500,000 email addresses to distribute his political newsletter. Barnhart described Monday’s bill as a “simple fix” to legislative emails being left out of the 2013 legislation. Both bills were designed to deter spammers from “harassing” constitu- ents, Barnhart said. But House Minority Leader Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, character- ized the bill as hypocritical, because it allows campaigns to have access to the emails but not the general public. “What I take issue with is state legislators handing those emails over to campaigns when people believe they’re signing up for the district newsletter,” McLane said. McLane called a Repub- lican caucus just before the vote, and all of the no votes came from the GOP. The legislation now heads to the Oregon Senate. Barnhart’s bill is one of several that seek exemptions to the public records law at a time when other lawmakers and Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum’s Office have been seeking to reduce and simplify the state’s some 500 exemptions. also grew on the other side of the parking lot, just in front of yellow police tape that covered nearly an entire block. Inside Lew’s Drive-In, next door to the grocery store, customers talked of nothing but the stabbing and of Wagner, whom everyone seemed to know. Customers who had been in the grocery store during the stabbing took refuge in the diner Sunday, but nobody had seen much, said Marvin Flora, the diner’s owner.
