Guns...
Authorities say a loner 26 year old, went on a rampage at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, killing nine people in a writing class where he was enrolled and wounding seven others. Witnesses said the gunman specifically targeted Christians.
Officers responded immediately to a report of shots being fired on the campus. Two officers with the Roseburg police department arrived within five minutes and were joined by a Oregon state trooper.
Mercer’s family issued a brief statement, saying “we are shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific events.” “Our thoughts, our hearts and our prayers go out to all of the families of those who died and were injured,” their statement said.
The recovered weapon brought to 14 the total number of guns Mercer had left behind after the shooting. Six of those guns were in Mercer's possession at the college, along with a flak jacket and five magazines of ammunition. The other weapons were found in his apartment.
Blame the National Rifle Association is not going to help that much.
This man had 14 gun, each cost around $1000. It is a culture, when someone get a gun as a gift from a family member for graduation, etc.. and when a family mother and son, etc goes to shoot guns. In addition people lives in a rural area and need to protect themselves and the safety of having a gun.
Mental health is an issue, but the families got to do something about it. Just a thought.
