Roland L. Scobee, 62, was killed during a mass shooting at Pinewood Village Apartments in Federal Way, Washington, on the evening of April 21, 2013. A resident of the complex for more than a decade and described as someone who loved the outdoors and was friendly, Scobee opened his apartment door after hearing a disturbance and urged a neighbor to call 911. He retreated inside, but the shooter used a shotgun to breach his door and fatally shot him.

The rampage began with a domestic dispute in a neighboring unit in which 28-year-old Dennis Clark fatally shot his girlfriend, Justine E. Baez, 24. Clark then shot two men in the parking lot, 23-year-old Ceasar A. Valdovinos and 47-year-old Bradley Fischer, before confronting police officers. Officers fired on Clark after he reached for a handgun, and he was killed at the scene. Investigators reported Clark had a history of domestic violence and legally owned multiple firearms; authorities believe he may have been trying to eliminate witnesses.

Scobee’s death was one of four fatalities from a violent domestic dispute that escalated into a mass shooting. If anyone knew Roland or was at Pinewood Village Apartments that night and has information, please share what you know.
