COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) — A gunman lured his father to a remote Oregon campsite and killed him, then drove to a beach where he shot at five cars in a parking lot, killing a Michigan camper who was sleeping in his vehicle, a prosecutor said Tuesday. The gunman then killed himself.

Zachary Brimhall's father, 58-year-old William Ray Brimhall of Dillard, Oregon, had been shot multiple times, Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said. The older man's body was found Tuesday near his vehicle on a remote logging road in the Coast Range about 50 miles from Bastendorff Beach, where the drive-by shooting took place earlier in the day.

"No question the son is responsible" for his father's death, Frasier said in a telephone interview late Tuesday. Investigators don't yet know what set off the violence, the prosecutor said.

Zachary Brimhall's mother told investigators that her husband left home Monday after their 34-year-old son called to say his car had broken down at a remote Coos County campsite and he needed help.

It appears the older man was killed shortly after he reached the campsite Monday night, Frasier said.

Investigators think the son then drove to the beach and several hours later started shooting, the prosecutor said. The first 911 calls from the beach came in at about 1 a.m. Tuesday.

Asked about a motive, Frasier said, "That's the big question. We don't know.

He was raped by his father?

At this point no one knows.

At this point no one knows.

So you're saying we probably shouldn't jump to conclusions? I agree. Seems that restrained outlook goes out the window in other cases.

Until the facts come out, I'd withhold judgement. Although I'm not sure what could justify killing someone who has nothing to do with the situation.
