M
ore than most, Dave Wallace knows
that life can change in an instant.
Up until 13 months ago, Wal-
lace enjoyed an easygoing exis-
tence with his wife, Danielle, and their two
children. The close-knit family liked to camp
and mushroom hunt and take vacations to-
gether at the coast and Wallowa Lake. Some
people know Dave as former Round-Up
groundskeeper and master chef of the Pend-
leton High School Mud Wars tug-of-war pit.
Wallace and his crew spent a couple of days
each year masterfully bringing the pit to pud-
ding-like consistency for the annual slimy
event.
More recently, Dave worked as a saw filer at
Blue Mountain Lumber. He was there when a
sudden stabbing headache brought him to his
knees. Dizzy and numb, he had trouble stand-
ing. Doctors checked him for a brain bleed, but
the CT scan came back normal.
A visit with a neurologist followed, as well
as an MRI and a spinal tap. All showed no ir-
regularities. The neurologist concluded that
Wallace was suffering from a severe migraine.
The migraine, if that’s what it is, has lasted
13 months.
He must walk with a cane and suffers brain
fog, tremors, earaches, tinnitus, numbness
and sensitivity to noise. His eyes also are af-
fected. When an ophthalmologist checked
his vision, Dave couldn’t read any of the rows
on the eye chart.
“My vision was 20/100,” he said. “I couldn’t
see anything.”
The family faces frustrating financial chal-
lenges as well. Dave hasn’t worked since that
day 13 months ago. Danielle has her jobs, but
the family struggled to stay ahead of the stream
of medical bills. Around the
first of the year, when the in-
surance deductible of $10,000

headway on the bills. But the
charges keep coming.
The next step is a consulta-
tion with a neurologist at Oregon Health &
Science University. Dave will present the doc-
tor with a stack of test results and reports. He
hopes for a breakthrough.
“It’s just been so hard,” Dave said, looking at
Danielle. “She doesn’t know this, but I break
down.”
PORTLAND
Police ask businesses for help identifying riot suspects
The Oregonian and The Associated Press
About 70 demonstrators assembled
outside the Portland Police Bureau’s
East Precinct late Saturday.
When the group pushed two dump-
sters into the street at around 10:30 p.m.,
police declared an unlawful assembly
and officers moved in. There were no ar-
rests and no reported injuries.
The police called the demonstra-
tors a “hostile crowd” and said officers
acted because they were concerned the
marchers would block the precinct’s
doors with the dumpsters and set fires
in them.
“Many in the group wore helmets,
body armor and had heavy backpacks,
which was consistent with the charac-
teristics of those intent on criminal be-
havior,” police said in a statement.
The confrontation outside the East
Precinct came a day after police de-
clared a riot on a night that saw down-
town Portland hit with destructive fires,
smashed windows and spray-painted
storefronts following Friday’s fatal po-
lice shooting of a man at Lents Park in
Southeast Portland. On Saturday, police
identified the man as Douglas Delgado,
46. Delgado died of a single gunshot
wound, authorities said.
In all, authorities have arrested at least
four people since Friday in connection
with the destruction and urged down-
town businesses to review security video
to help police apprehend more rioters.

GUN VIOLENCE
3 killed in Wisconsin; Indianapolis gunman legally bought firearms
Associated Press
Three people were killed and
three wounded in a shooting at
a busy tavern in southeastern
Wisconsin early Sunday, sher-
iff’s officials said.
It was the latest in a recent
string of shootings across the
country, including the killings
of eight people at a FedEx ware-
house in Indianapolis on Thurs-
day. Last month, four people
were killed at an office shooting
in California, eight people were
fatally shot at massage busi-
nesses in the Atlanta area, and
10 died in gunfire at a super-
market in Boulder, Colorado.
Authorities say they have
apprehended a person in con-
nection with the shooting in
Kenosha County, Wisconsin.
“We believe our suspect
knew who he was targeting,”
Sheriff David Beth said earlier.
The suspect had been asked
to leave Somers House Tavern
but returned and opened fire.
Beth said shots were fired in-
side and outside the bar, which
he described as “very busy” at
the time.
Kenosha is about 30 miles
south of Milwaukee, not far
from the Wisconsin-Illinois
border.
The city of Kenosha was
the scene of serious unrest last
summer, after police shot a
young Black man, Jacob Blake,
leaving him paralyzed. A white
Illinois teenager was accused
of fatally shooting two people
during the Kenosha protests.
Kyle Rittenhouse of Antioch is
charged with homicide and at-
tempted homicide in the Aug.
25 shootings. He has pleaded
not guilty and says he fired in
self-defense.
Indianapolis FedEx
shooting update
The former employee who
shot and killed eight people at
a FedEx facility in Indianap-
olis legally purchased the two
assault rifles used in the attack
despite red-flag laws designed
to prevent that, police said.
A trace of the two guns
found by investigators at the
scene revealed that suspect
Brandon Scott Hole, 19, of In-
dianapolis, legally bought the
rifles in July and September of
last year, officials with India-
napolis Police said Saturday.
The department did not
share where Hole bought the
guns, citing the ongoing inves-
tigation, but said Hole was wit-
nessed using both rifles during
the assault.
Deputy Police Chief Craig
McCartt said Hole began firing
randomly at people in the park-
ing lot of the FedEx facility late
Thursday, killing four, before
entering the building, fatally
shooting four more people and
then turning the gun on himself.
Paul Keenan, special agent in
charge of the FBI’s Indianapolis
field office, has said that agents
questioned Hole last year after
his mother called police to say
that her son might commit “sui-
cide by cop.” He said the FBI was
called after items were found in
Hole’s bedroom but he did not
elaborate on what they were. He
said agents found no evidence
of a crime and that they did not
identify Hole as espousing a ra-
cially motivated ideology.
A police report obtained by
The Associated Press shows
that officers seized a pump-
action shotgun from Hole’s
home after responding to the
mother’s call. Keenan said the
gun was never returned.
Indiana has had a “red flag
law” allowing police or courts
to seize guns from people who
show warning signs of vio-
lence since 2005. It became
one of the first states to enact
such a law after an Indianapo-
lis police officer was killed by
a man whose weapons had to
be returned despite hospital-
ization months earlier for an
emergency mental health eval-
uation. The law is intended to
prevent people from purchas-
ing or possessing a firearm if
they are found by a judge to
present “an imminent risk” to
themselves or others.
