The 26-year-old killer who gunned down classmates inside an Oregon college spared a student and gave the "lucky one" something to deliver to authorities, according to the mother of a student who witnessed the rampage.

Shooter Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer later killed himself as officers arrived, Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said Saturday.

Authorities have not disclosed whether they have an envelope or package from Harper-Mercer. However, a law enforcement official said Saturday a manifesto of several pages had been recovered.

I searched high and low and couldn't find this story anywhere. I can't believe that the Star Tribune is the only one running this.

Searched high and low on FR, too.

;-)

If the Manifesto said anything other than REPUBLICANS ARE COOL or NRA WINS, it will never see the light of day. Bank on it.

This guy was so delusional that he thought that because he was a fan of the IRA, he was a Republican.

I’ve heard this reported over and over.

Is there a manifesto? Is there some big secret someone does not want revealed?

It’s all over. I saw it first in Oregonlive a few hours ago, not about the student being ‘saved’ but the package of writings.

Press coverage...

Which seeds more of this from Wannabees...

Keeps the story alive and viable as a a distraction

Putin has the night lights burning, he came back from the US with something in his shoe...

A stone, we all know his name

He will take care of things himself and shake the stone from his shoe, and walk on

Watch and See...

Right, we know about the manifesto, but we don’t know if the “lucky one” delivered this, or something else.

This is the second time I have heard it. I wonder if we will ever know the truth.

Communication is more wide and instant and yet the truth is just as hard to find as ever.

probably something along the lines of:

“Allah Snackbar! kill infidels, Jews, muzzies who don’t believe like me, crackers, asians, po-po etc, etc.”

Did the package contain a Confederate flag?

I’m not sure I completely buy the IRA thing. I and others believe his social media sites were played with or fine tuned.

I fear you may be right. I hope the local police made copies before they turned anything over to the Obama regime federal operatives.
