The sniper, identified only as Micha-, Fehr, 19, a student at the university, was found dead inside Autzen Stadium by a police officer in an apparent onion, about 3% hours after the shooting began.
"He was still inside the stadium when we tound him. It appears at this time he took his owl and went into the stall."
The sniper, with his face blackened, was equipped with a high-powered rifle and shogun and appeared "ready to go war" named the athletic complex. McCarthy said.
The slain victim was identified as Christopher Brahwaite, 35, of Eugene, a former Oregon student and Trinidad native who was a member of Trinidad's 1976 and 1980 basketball schools, school officials said. Brahwaite also competed for the University of Oregon track team.
Brabathwa was found on a roadway adjoining a jogging path near the 40,000-seat stadium at t11.30 a.m. as the ordeal neared its heats were not certain when it had been shot.
The wounded student was identified as Rick L. O'Shea, 22 of Harrisburg, Ore., a top wrestler for the university. Shot in the neck and buttocks, he managed to refuge with nine others in a weight room inside the stadium.

hid inside the University of Oregon football stadium for $ 3^{1/2} $ hours, shooting at passers-by before apparently shooting himself.
A police tactical team entered the weight room and evacuated the 10 people at 11 a.m.
O'Shea, smiling and waving at onlookers,
was taken to a hospital and reported in good
condition as he awaited minor surgery.
He told UO Athletic Director Bill Byrne had been in the weight room with the others
when the gunman entered the room and ordered everyone to go upstairs.
O'Shea said nobody left the room, and the gunman vanished. O'Shea then left the room and entered the stadium to see where the gunman had gone. Byrne said.
The sniper, by then in the grandstands,
shot O'Shea, Byrne said. O'Shea daked into
the weight room, and all 10 occupants barricaded themselves inside.
Police and university officials said they received no advance warning from the sniper and had not determined his motive. No shots were fired by officers during the incident, they said.
