Robert David Seater, 26, was killed on July 23, 1977, in Klamath Falls, Oregon, when a gunman opened fire outside Uncle Albert’s Lounge on South Sixth Street just after midnight. Contemporary and later accounts place him among six people fatally shot in the attack, which began around 12:15 a.m.; his wife, 23-year-old Carrol Ann Seater, then eight months pregnant, was also killed in the same burst of rifle fire.

Reports identify the assailant as DeWitt Charles Henry, a former bouncer at the club who retrieved a .223-caliber Colt AR-15 Sporter after an earlier altercation and fired into the parking area, killing patrons and staff and wounding two others. Oregon State Police troopers exchanged fire with the shooter, wounded him, and took him into custody that night; he was later convicted on six counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder and received six consecutive life sentences.

The event is memorialized locally and in cemetery records listing the victims by name.
