Oregon Shooter was After Christians
Kortney Moore, 18, told the News-Review she was in her Writing 115 class in Snyder Hall when a shot came through the window. Moore said she saw her teacher get shot in the head. The shooter then reportedly told the students to get on the ground before asking people to stand up and state their religion. He then began firing. Moore said she was lying on the ground with people who had been shot.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said officers located the shooters upon arriving at the college.
“They located the shooter in one of the buildings,” he said. “Officers engaged that suspect. There was an exchange of gunfire. The shooter threat was neutralized.
“Officers continued to sweep the campus looking for other threats. We have confirmed that there is confirmed injuries and confirmed fatalities.”
The local fire district also tweeted that there were “multiple casualties” but did not elaborate.
“It’s my understanding, it’s been reported there are 13 deceased, more than 20 injured,” Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said on a cable news network.
Rosenblum said she could not confirm that the shooter had been killed. Pressed on the death toll, she said “I’m getting this from the head of my criminal justice division.”
