In the coastal city of North Bend, Oregon, a domestic tragedy unfolded on November 13, 2018, ending the life of 53-year-old Leslie E. Mason. On that day, law enforcement responded to reports of gunshots and screaming at a residence located at 3516 Chester. Inside, they discovered Leslie Mason, a female, deceased from what was determined to be a fatal shooting.
The investigation into her death quickly pointed to her estranged husband, Glen Frank Mason, as the primary suspect.
The incident was not only a fatal encounter for Leslie but also resulted in serious injuries to her 28-year-old daughter, Lindsay Pease, who was shot multiple times and required hospitalization. Authorities also found three minor children inside the home at the time of the incident. The circumstances surrounding the violent event led to Glen Mason's arrest.
Following his apprehension, Glen Frank Mason, who was 54 at the time, was arraigned on multiple charges. A grand jury indicted him on charges including murder with a firearm for the death of his estranged wife. He also faced three counts of attempted murder with a firearm, assault with a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon, and six counts of reckless endangerment, reflecting the gravity and scope of the violence that occurred that day. He was subsequently held in the Coos County Jail. The case highlighted a tragic instance of domestic violence that resulted in the loss of one life and the severe injury of another.
