MYRTLE CREEK, Ore. (AP) — Witnesses say a gunman charged into the office of a Southern Oregon real estate agent he blamed for breaking up his marriage, chased the man outside and shot him.
Then, the witnesses tell the Roseburg News-Review (http://bit.ly/oZzf8Z ), the gunman told police in Myrtle Creek to “just shoot me. Kill me.”
When it was over Wednesday, 58-year-old John Bocock of Myrtle Creek was dead. A witness says police yelled at him 20 to 25 times to drop his weapon, but he wouldn’t.
The real estate agent, 51-year-old Vince Lytsell, was in the hospital, reported in fair condition with a wound in the abdomen.
