On the evening of May 7, 1981, a shooter opened fire inside the Oregon Museum Tavern in Salem, Oregon. Dennis Scharf, then 56, was among the patrons struck. He survived the initial attack but was left a quadriplegic by his wounds and lived with those injuries for decades.

The gunman, identified as 25-year-old Lawrence William Moore, entered during Ladies’ night and fired a 9mm Browning, killing three people at the scene and fatally wounding a fourth who died at the hospital. Moore was subdued by patrons while reloading and later arrested. He admitted to being the shooter at his October 1981 trial, pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, but was convicted on four counts of aggravated murder and given four life terms.

Scharf died on January 19, 2013, of complications from the injuries he suffered in the 1981 shooting, and is counted as the final victim of that attack.
