ROSEBURG, Oregon, U.S.A. - A lone gunman killed nine people
and wounded seven more Thursday in a blood-soaked Oregon college campus rampage
as America’s recurring national nightmare returned.
The carnage erupted at 10:38 a.m. on the rural grounds of
Umpqua Community College near Roseburg, with the shooting spree ending when the
killer opened fire on arriving police who shot the 26-year-old dead in his
tracks.
The killer, identified as Chris Harper Mercer, asked his
victims to state their religion as he carried out the carnage in two buildings,
with the victims found in two classrooms.
A visibly irate President Obama unleashed his harshest
attack yet on pro-gun forces, suggesting the blood of our citizens has been
repeatedly spilled because of partisan politics.
