Lore was treated at Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Medical Center for her non-life-threatening injuries.

Just 10 days before the shooting, Teresa Marie Beiser, 36, had filed for divorce and was awarded primary custody of the couple’s two children, ages 11 and 14. According to court documents, Robert Beiser was supposed to spend weekends with the children and whatever other times the couple could work out, and would pay $1,100 a month in child support.

Police said the couple had been in the process of separating for some time, and that Robert Beiser no longer lived in the family home. Robert Beiser was a Gladstone High School graduate who worked as a contract newspaper delivery person for The Oregonian.

Memorial Fund

In response to last week’s tragic events, the Emanuel Medical Center Foundation has established the Teresa Beiser Memorial Fund to provide an opportunity for Legacy Health employees and others to celebrate Teresa Beiser’s life. The fund will be open until Jan. 31, 2010 and proceeds will be sent Teresa’s parents to aid in the care of her children.

Teresa had been employed by Legacy Health since June 1996 and worked at the MetroLab-Tualatin for eight years.

Donations, with a note indicating they are in memory of Teresa Beiser, can be mailed to P.O. Box 4484, Portland, OR 97208-4484. Credit card donations are available by telephone at 503-413-2786 or by visiting www.legacyhealth.org/foundations.
