#12  News is reporting that 20 year old male shooter was asking people their religion. If they said Christian, he shot them in the head. If they didn't answer, he shot them in the legs. Also being reported is that he came from the midwest, went to Seattle, and then down to Roseburg. No name at this point.

Obean used the event to express his rage and call for more gun control. He said nothing about a warm night in Chicago and its death rate.

#10  French train hero. Coincidence ?

Mr. Skarlatos moved to Oregon, where he graduated from Roseburg High School and has been a guardsman for three years, according to The Oregonian. He had planned to visit Greece and Germany before returning Sept. 9 to Oregon, his father said. Karen Skarlatos, Alek’s stepmother, told the newspaper that the family was “very proud.”

#9  Thankfully the cops didn't honor the gun free zone. Good shooting officers.

#8  Appears to be a white male loser, but the asking religion aspect is somewhat strange.

#7  From one of the comments at Betty's link:
I would bet a months pay the shooter is a male with liberal/occupy type leanings who is is taking at least 2 forms of anti-psychotics..

Seems a safe bet.
But as tw says, 48 Hour Rule. We're getting info from journalists, after all.

#6  According to Betty Hitler2611's link

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said 13 people were killed in a shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, and 20 others were injured. The male gunman was killed by officers in a shootout.

That story contains the "state your religion" bit quoted in comment #3. Forty-eight Hour Rule, of course, but it was told by a claimed eye witness.

#5  Am hearing that this is home town of one of the Marines who stopped the terror attack on a French train.

Also hearing shooter was asking victims their religion.

Grain of salt of course.

Kortney Moore told The News-Review that she was in Snyder Hall when her teacher got shot in the head. The 18-year-old student said the gunman told people to get down on the ground. He then started to ask people to stand up to state their religion and then started shooting, according to Moore. She said she was lying on the ground with people who were shot.
