TUALATIN, Ore. (AP) – Oregon’s Occupational Safety and Health Division says a man hit by large metal plates as he worked at a Portland-area manufacturing business has died. The Oregonian reports that OSHA says one worker at Pro Saw in Tualatin was moving three 20-by-9-foot metal plates with a forklift yesterday when some of them slipped and hit him. The victim was not immediately identified.
STAYTON, Ore. (AP) – A Marion County sheriff’s spokesman says a missing hunter has been found dead outside of Stayton. Searchers had been looking for 37-year-old Corey Fred since Saturday after he sent a text saying he was going hunting on his property next to forest land and did not return.
PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) – A northeast Oregon man convicted in a fatal 2011 shooting at a plumbing shop near Milton-Freewater has been sentenced to 27 years to life in prison. The East Oregonian reports a judge said yesterday that 52-year-old George Craigen was not insane when he killed Cecil Carter, but was “a drunk and angry man” who held a grudge against Carter and committed “revenge murder.”
