The owner of the home, Roger Olfert, told KGW that a gunman had recently broken up with his daughter. This was before police revealed there were two suspects.
Police confirmed the suspects, who lived in the Salem area, knew the victims of the shooting.
Roger Olfert said the incident began with threats and knives.
“Came over and threatened them with knives and they chased him away, and he came back with guns and shot them,” Olfert said.
Anyone who has additional information is asked to call the Marion County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency dispatch at (503) 588-5032.
