Gunman kills estranged wife at Tualatin lab, injures two, kills self:

Husband repeatedly threatened wife, friend says:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

TUALATIN -- By late afternoon Tuesday, a lone state trooper guarded the front of a drug-testing clinic where a man with a rifle opened fire, killing his estranged wife and injuring two of her co-workers.

The gunman fired multiple shots inside Legacy MetroLab-Tualatin shortly before noon, said Tualatin Police Chief Kent Barker.   

The shooter was found dead at the scene, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Barker said.

A 63-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds was flown by air ambulance to OHSU Hospital in Portland while a 20-year-old woman was sent by ground ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Hospital after fleeing to a nearby Subway restaurant. The woman was aided by Subway patrons before the ambulance arrived.

The dead woman was identified as Teresa Beiser, 36, of Gladstone.

A week ago, she filed for divorce from her husband of 15 years, Robert Beiser, 39, who worked as a car appraiser for Property Damage Appraisers in Lake Oswego and as an independent contractor for The Oregonian.

They had two children, a 14-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son.

About two or three weeks ago, Robert Beiser told his daughter's tae kwon do coach that he had purchased several firearms. The coach, Al Dorsey, said Robert Beiser invited him and some customers at Tae Kwon Do 2 in Clackamas to go target shooting. Dorsey declined.

"I thought it was a little strange," Dorsey said. "He bought more than three, at least that's what I understand from what he told me."

Robert Beiser threatened his wife, repeatedly telling her he planned to buy guns, in the weeks before he fatally shot her and then killed himself at the office where she worked in Tualatin, according to a man Teresa Beiser was dating during the Beisers' separation.

Teresa Beiser also told another friend recently she was scared of her husband, who had bought several guns upon learning his wife had filed for divorce.

The other thing is that Teresa Beiser was an up and coming amateur bodybuilder. It wouldn't be a stretch to see how this little man could be threatened by that. Instead of growing a pair of testicles he bought some guns.

One point for killing your wife, another point for taking the coward's way out, two points for leaving your kids parentless, another point for being threatened by your wife bettering herself, two more points for the people you wounded for your selfishness, another point for being a coward who threatened his wife with guns, and one last point for being an all around nutless wonder. That's 9.
