Liliya Zagariya, a 20-year-old volunteer emergency medical technician with dreams of becoming a paramedic, was working at a Vancouver medical office Tuesday afternoon when a man walked in, shot her in the chest and then turned the weapon on himself.
Zagariya, of Vancouver, was known as âLilyâ by Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue firefighters, died of her wounds, as did the man, identified by the Clark County Medical Examinerâs Office as Douglas Moore, 58, of Vancouver.
Her death was ruled a homicide and his a suicide.
The attack appears to have been random.
âAt this time, there is no information that the two were known to one another,â the Vancouver Police Department said in a statement Wednesday. âThe incident appears random in nature.â
