A Portland grandmother “overjoyed” to get out again after
receiving a COVID-19 vaccine was killed in a hit-and-run
rampage, her family said.

Jean Gerich, 77, died after a driver, Paul Rivas, 64,
deliberately plowed down her and nine others Monday afternoon in
southeast Portland, news station KGW reported.

She was brought to a hospital, where she died of blunt force
trauma, news station KATU reported.

Her family said in a statement that she was a grandmother of
five and cancer survivor.

“She received her first vaccination shot last week and was
overjoyed to get out in the world again,” her family said.

The other victims were left wounded from what authorities
believe was an intentional rampage, the outlet reported.

Rivas drove away from the scene but was then cornered by good
Samaritans, KATU reported.

When police arrived, he was tackled before being taken into
custody, the outlet reported.

He was booked into jail on charges of murder, assault, and
failure to perform the duties of a driver, the outlet reported.

No motive was released behind the deadly string of crashes, but
authorities said they don’t believe that terrorism, bias or
politics played a role.
