(KVAL,KATU) ROSEBURG, Ore. – Emergency crews are responding to a deadly shooting on the Umpqua Community College campus Thursday morning, an Oregon State Police spokesperson said.

The Oregon Attorney General's Office has confirmed 13 dead, up fro reports of seven to 10 people are dead earlier. At least 20 people were wounded in the shooting.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown has confirmed that the shooter was a 20-year-old male. The Douglas County Sheriff said the shooter was killed while exchanging fire with first police on scene.

Douglas County Fire Marshal Ray Shoufler tells CNN there were multiple patients found in different classrooms, and law enforcement had the shooter neutralized when he arrived.

People are being asked to stay away from the campus.

I appreciate that this is another country with a different culture, but for goodness sake how many more have to be exterminated before common sense prevails.

There have been 294 mass shootings in the USA this year.

Of course the NRA's reaction will be "If only those students had've been packing some hardware". What a tragedy. 😞

Interesting factoid:  7 minutes after the first 911 call came in, the shooter was dead.  2 Marshalls were in route from Eugene to Medford, and were the first to respond.

When we learned that the boss of NRA developed alzheimer's disease, my family, perhaps unkindly, stated that it couldn't happen to a more deserving person.  This was because of his behaviour after the Columbine high school massacre.

Yea... America is a terrible place... [sarcasm] All we can talk about here on CS is killings in the U.S.. America has so many other attributes... But we're going to define her here with "land of the free" meaning that's all there is... With freedom... being able to kill.

Look... I'm not justifying it... It's so wrong... Taking another's life is wrong... A terrible act... But the sarcasm is killing me... To compare land of the free with killings... Well it's a joke...

There's so much more here in the states... So much good that's done, never posted here..... But... Yet when you have the opportunity too sling mud at her.. you jump on her with two feet... So save your B.S America bashing...

its bad enough we have to deal with this in house.... Don't need anymore stomping... Bashing..

Worry about your own mess... Geez... Never ending here....any opportunity some of you get.... You can't wan't wait to stomp.
Not one of you has said I feel bad for the families...... All about you and your views... Of course that comes first......

Done........

This IS in-house.........I live 100 miles south of the scene, and my wife attended that community college........the pervasive gun culture is a problem in the US. Whenever a shooting occurs, you can depend on a gun fondler to post the untruths about Australia gun homicides.
