The shooting occurred on Tuesday in Tualatin, a suburb outside of Portland, near the Pacific coast.

Police said several other people were wounded, including one man airlifted to a Portland hospital for treatment. Another victim was treated at a local hospital, the Oregonian newspaper reported online.

The Legacy MetroLab-Tualatin clinic where the shooting occurred served private companies and the government, which sent clients there for alcohol and drug testing.
