10 Dead, Including Gunman; 20 Injured in Oregon Community College Shooting

By Sandra Rose  | 

The gunman involved in a mass shooting at a small community college in Oregon was shot dead by police Fox News reports. The shooter was described as a male in his late 20s.

13 students are reported dead and 20 injured following the shooting rampage at Umpqua Community College in west Oregon.

The shooting started at about 1:45 p.m. ET in Snyder Hall, according to a FOX News source. As many as 30 shots were fired by the unidentified gunman. The shooting was confined to a single classroom.

Injured victims were taken to several area hospitals. Six life flight helicopters were sent to the scene. 2 critically injured students were airlifted to a trauma center.

The community college is about 6 miles south of Roseburg, OR. The campus of 3,000 students has been locked down. Many of the students were bused to the Douglas County Fairgrounds where they were reunited with their families.

Oregon Sheriff reported there was "no more threat" to students and residents.

"The community is in shock at this time," Senator Jeffrey Kruse told Fox News.

Umpqua Community College is a "gun-free zone", Fox News reports.

Stay tuned for more developments.

  • Ariel

    Jesus said it was going to be like this (Matt 24). He's coming soon, though.

  • Smartypants

    Agreed!

    My two cents: People need to stop messing with people (didn't want to say messing but y'all know). Plain and simple. Most of the time people are bullied in these places or it's the location of some torment. Granted, everyone copes with issues differently but sometimes people need to just stfd and stfu cuz you never know what someone is capable of.

    I could be wrong about it, but there's a pattern with these situations.

  • ShelbyMoore

    When I say the post the first think that came to mind is, "please don't be black, please don't be black."

  • <—Doesn'tTalkToStrangers

I thought she was talking about me because of the flag which if it was the case I would have told her it was a burning flag. Being rude is never my first reaction to people but if you treat me a certain way I will return the favor

  • GuestSTAR

    This is pure insanity and scary, SMH.
    Every time I'm in the grocery store, a restaurant, movies, even at WORK, I think about someone coming in and spraying up the joint. I mean EVERY TIME. My husband thinks I'm too paranoid and to some extent he's right, I am, very paranoid. I own a fire arm and at times I carry, especially if I'm out late by myself, but I can't carry everywhere, especially to the grocery store or work (too heavy, would way my handbag down), but I do feel better about at least having the ability to fight for my life when I do carry.

  • pizzle

    Not a trolling just say where I saw it

  • Jahnée Gill Mr.Eddie Murphy

    My spirit's telling me you're a "Rachel Dolezal".This comment along with that Trap Queen remark confirmed it. I see you , I SEE YOU! Your Auntymama and GrandPappy- Daddy are none to pleased with you setting the good table cloth on fire like that. What are they going to use the next time the Grand Dragons come over? For shame!

  • jeniefrumdabloc™

    Okay .... let me break this shyt down to you ... my first comment was very clear... you said what am I talking about .... me : I felt explaining a simplified comment would be unnecessary considering you didn't understand it from the initial post. Now when I said figure it out ... (in short catch up) others understood .... and I said it wasn't that deep ... and gave you a take care .... then ya came back .... so I roasted ya simple azz ..... and fugg yo favor .. word up up ..... Now you were the one that started the insults .... so here ya go ... done now !!!!

  • stav

    Not trying to insensitive , because I'm not that way at all, but we know the shooter wasn't black, because if so his face would be plastered on camera, or that would have been the first thing mentioned. May God be with those families of all the deceased. So Sad!

    Exactly. There was a high school shooting that happened I believe two months ago here that wasn't on the news (well not as big as this because one two were killed) but it does happen here. Thank you. As much as you try to be safe you just never know what's going to happen. I'm sure these students thought they were being safe and look what happens. All you can do is pray.
