Kim Saltmarsh Dietz, 59, was killed at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, on October 1, 2015. A student at the college who also worked as a caretaker at a local vineyard, Dietz attended classes alongside her daughter. During the morning shooting by 26-year-old student Chris Harper-Mercer, Dietz was in a classroom and reportedly moved toward the door to investigate the noise and to shield others. She was fatally wounded and became one of nine victims that day.

The shooter died of a self-inflicted wound after an exchange of gunfire with responding officers, so there were no arrests in connection with the attack. Dietz is remembered by those who knew her as energetic, kind, and devoted to learning and her family.

If anyone knew Kim Saltmarsh Dietz or was on campus that day and has information to share, please come forward.
