Good evening, Salem……
For our city and for Oregon, it was a violent weekend.
Here in Salem, shootings at places that included a public park left two people dead and police strained to field enough detectives to investigate it all.
Across the Cascades, Bend endured a shocking shooting at a Safeway, with a customer killed and one store employee killed. Authorities said the employee apparently tried to stop the shooter, who ended up killing himself.

Get your event in front of Salem. Who can post to our Events Calendar? Just about anyone. We ask that you provide a fair description of the event and the cost, if any. Government agencies can – and should – list their public meetings. Nonprofits can list fundraising events open to the community. And clubs and groups can enter events that are open to the public.
In other words, if it’s happening, and it’s public, you can list. There is no cost for our base listing and you have options to buy even more attention: SUBMIT EVENT
