Oregon Shooting: ‘DWTS’ Hero Alex Skarlatos Crushed After Massacre At His College

So scary! Terror train hero Alek Skarlatos was forced to bolt out of his ‘DWTS’ rehearsals on Oct. 1 when he received a call about the tragic shooting at Umpqua Community College — his hometown school!

This is just so terrifying. Dancing With The Stars contestant Alek Skarlatos, 22, was in the middle of rehearsals with his partner Lindsay Arnold when he reportedly received a phone call informing him of the tragic shooting that took place at Umpqua Community College — the school he is currently enrolled in. How devastating!

The massacre at the Oregon community college was a tragic affair for all, but it truly hit home for Alek, who is currently pursuing a career in law enforcement at the school. Upon hearing the gut-wrenching news, the Army National Guardsman reportedly bolted from his DWTS rehearsal, as he attempted to make calls back home to ensure his friends were safe, TMZ reports. Shortly after leaving the studio, Alek took to Twitter to ask for his fans’ support writing, “Everyone send prayers out to ucc.”

I believe this whack job thought that he could gain notoriety and maybe get lucy and kill some one dear to one of the American military heroes of the European Train hijacking last month.

There is some kind of link here. He was not from Oregon. He was from Torrence, CA,

That is a far piece to travel just to shoot up some RANDOM school.

People tend to over analyze spree killers, often the reason why they do this is simple, they are evil.

Stop trying to blame it on video games,movies or whatever, some people are just simply evil

Forget Oregon’s Gunman. Remember the Hero Who Charged Straight at Him.

Worth Repeating:

.............“I will not give him the credit he probably sought,” Hanlin said of the killer. “You will never hear me use his name.”

The coroner will be obliged to issue an official identification, and news organizations will be obliged to report it.

But if you hear it, forget that Chris in that very instant.

Think of Chris Mintz, who was shot while rushing a killer on his son’s sixth birthday.

Forget the zero and remember the hero.

Also remember those two brave cops and the others who showed uncommon courage. .............

I hope he can dance.

Maybe he went after Christians in Oregon over the bakery refusing to pay fines.

I don’t know..... the left has certainly been whipped into an anti-Christian frenzy over the past few years tho.
