PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 67-year-old man who walked into the Gresham Eagles club and shot two men playing poker was sentenced Wednesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court to 10 years in prison.
Carroll Lochiel Mayfield, a retired Gresham public utility worker, had pleaded no contest in December to attempted murder and assault charges.
The Oregonian reports he told the court and his victims he had no explanation when opened fire on the crowd in January 2010. Defense lawyer Russell Barnett says Mayfield suffers from the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease and the shooting was completely out of character.
