A rural community college became the site of America’s latest mass shooting on Thursday as a lone gunman burst into classrooms during the school day and mowed down terrified students before being shot dead in a firefight with police, authorities said.Let's be clear here: This is no longer news.
Officials said nine people were killed, plus the gunman, and seven injured during the traumatic events at Umpqua Community College, about three hours south of Portland.
A U.S. law enforcement official identified the gunman as 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer of Winchester, Ore. He was described as wearing a dark shirt and jeans while spewing bullets from what appeared to be three pistols and possibly a semiautomatic rifle.
We have a shooting like this, albeit typically on a slightly smaller scale, on an almost daily basis in this nation.
It happened in the heart of OR's gun cult, with a sherif who is a big gun nut. And as a result, gun sales have sky rocketed.
