Shooting On University Campus In Oregon Leaves Ten People Dead

A mass shooter opened fire on students of Oregon’s Umpqua Community College on Thursday, killing ten and injuring many others.

Chris Harper Mercer, 26, targeted two buildings on the campus. He started out in one building before moving onto the science building.

Astonishingly, Mercer is reported to have asked some of the victims their religion before killing them.

Before going into spinal surgery, one of the victims, Anastasia Boylan, told her father and brother the gunman entered her classroom firing. The professor in the classroom was shot point blank. Others were hit, she told her family.

Everyone in the classroom dropped to the ground.

The gunman, while reloading his handgun, ordered the students to stand up if they were Christians, Boylan told her family.

“And they would stand up and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you’re going to see God in just about one second,'” Boylan’s father, Stacy, told CNN, relaying her account.

“And then he shot and killed them.”

Mercer was killed in a shootout with police.
