Rosemary Oberg-Johnson, 59, of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, died on December 28, 2012, from wounds sustained in a violent attack that began on December 22, 2012. On that day she and her 32-year-old son, Paul Russell Johnson, were shot inside their home. Paul survived the initial shooting and was critically injured and hospitalized in Duluth.

Authorities identified 55-year-old William Levi Payne of Bovey, Minnesota, as the shooter. Payne reportedly entered the Oberg-Johnson residence, opened fire and was captured at the scene; a woman present who had an order for protection against Payne said she heard him yell before the shooting. Payne was booked in the Itasca County Jail and charged with multiple felonies, including murder and attempted murder; charges were later amended after Rosemary’s death.

Are there readers who knew the family or have information about the events on December 22, 2012?
