(LINCOLN CITY, Ore.) - Police in Lincoln City are searching for a man accused of shooting a teenage boy at the Tanger outlet mall in Lincoln City.

Police told KPTV that a teenager, later identified as Ty Pederson, was shot during an armed robbery at the Springmaid Wamsutta store inside the Tanger Outlet Mall around 7:00 PM on Saturday.

Pederson was transported to Emanuel hospital in Portland. There is no information Sunday on his condition.

Many stores went into lockdown while authorities searched the mall for the gunman, but police were unable to locate him.

Don't forget www.badcopnews.com There is a site called badcop no donut. We need police but they are so badly educated which is a part of successful police work and learning that they have no right to stop people for no reason, tell them to get out of the car or even ask for their license when you have done nothing wrong. People are going to have to make a day out of reading their rights. Most people do not know the First Ammendment from the First Commandment. Most people should have audio and video in their vehicles.

I was at the mall when the first 2 officers arrived on scene, I was not impressed by the way they handled the situation, I was almost hit by one of the officers and when I got out of my car and went into a shop to do more shopping I turned and noticed 2 more comming in o foot with semi-auto weapons (mp5's??)Why wa nothing done to protect the people who were still there shopping?! No one told us to stay inside? Personally myself I left ASAP!! But I noticed on my way out a Sherrif standing by her car doing nothing!!It seems that the Sherrif's dept could learn a little about police work. Would they like a shoot out with about 300 civilians included ???? Bad cop!! No donut!!

I know the victim, he didn't deserve this. they think he is going to be okay, they are going to rebuild his jaw on tuesday. He was shot twice, one fractured his jaw and the other one stopped near his spinal cord.

Dude, nazi does not get capitalized in my book, and it is entirely a matter of choice. Glad to hear you are not a racist, it sure sounded like it.


Hogie from Hebo April 29, 2007 9:12 pm (Pacific time)

Jose, I am not a racist. I just don't tolerate bad actions that are accepted in other countries. ps. Nazi should be capitalized.


Jose Sandoval April 29, 2007 8:39 pm (Pacific time)

Hogie from Hebo is a toothless, ignorant racist that is so fat he can't see hit toes. Trust me, just another dumb nazi with no reason to exist.


wow April 29, 2007 6:51 pm (Pacific time)

It amazes me that with all the people with CCW permits and the people packing illegally that someone can escape from an outlet mall on a sunny saturday after firing shots. Too bad he got away.. so far


Hobo from Hegie April 29, 2007 6:25 pm (Pacific time)

If you look at all of the shootings and crime, you'll find that it is proportional. You just insulted all Hispanics that work so hard and in fear to keep the U.S. economy from collapsing. Crime stats are selectively reported. So much never makes it in the papers.


Hogie from Hebo April 29, 2007 1:28 pm (Pacific time)

This is a common occurance in Mexico. We don't need to accept this type of diversity.
