Oregon: Vigils Held After Gunman Killed 9 at Community College

HeadlineOct 02, 2015

Vigils were held in Oregon last night after a gunman opened fire at a community college Thursday morning, killing nine people before he was shot to death. The shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg has been described as the deadliest shooting in Oregon’s history and one of the worst mass school shootings in recent years. Press reports have identified the gunman as 26-year-old Chris Harper-Mercer. According to one count, this is the 294th mass shooting in the United States so far this year and the 45th shooting on a school or college campus. We’ll have more on the Oregon shooting after headlines.
