A suspected gunman was detained Thursday after reportedly killing at least 10 people at Oregon's Umpqua Community College, according to CNN.

Preliminary information indicated 10 people were killed and more than 20 were injured at the college, located at 1140 Umpqua College Road in the Roseburg community, Oregon State Police spokesman Bill Fugate told CNN.

TV station KATU initially reported state police said 15 people were killed, but later tweeted there were seven to 10 fatalities.

The shooter was believed to have been detained, Fugate also told CNN.

Seriously, every shooting in a “gun free zone” is a real life example of gun control in action. Can anyone point to an example where gun control has prevented a shooting?

For that matter, can anyone point to an example of a mass shooting at a gun show?

Whatever happened to drinking beer, pledging fraternities, football, and chasing girls....?

Michael Medved, God help me, just said this is near Eugene, Oregon. Has anyone done a study or just a search to find out if most of these atrocities seem to happen in well-heeled, liberal strongholds?

I once said to my college age nephew that these shootings were the new version of pushing into a phone booth or swallowing goldfish.

It is over an hour from Eugene and a very conservative community. Doesn’t mean he couldn’t have driven down, but best guess would be a local kid who knows how to hunt.

Thanks. A local kid who belonged in an insane asylum.

And if Obama doesnt get his gun control this time look for college shootings to continue at an accelerated pace through 2016.

Right now I expect he and his fellow statists are capable of anything.

Eugene is an extremely liberal area.
This is not Eugene.
Roseburg is a more rural and more conservative leaning city.
This is a terrible tragedy, and we ALL need to stop jumping to conclusions.

and chasing girls....?

Betas don't chase girls. They are all bent out of shape that girls don't chase them but chase the Alphas.

Thus, by their logic, the only solution is to kill all the Alphas.

We can’t rely on officials or the MSM like CNN, FOX, or the others. There has to be a blogging student from there who was a witness and can ID the murderer.

odd that you mentioned drugs

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ..tweeted that it had special agents at the college and was sending additional agents, as well as a K-9 team, to the scene.

Officers from the federal Department of Homeland sEcurity were also sent to the college.

I’m thinking Stoned Arab...”transplant”

Since I have no effect on this story, I’ll jump to any conclusion I want, ok?

And you can blame Michael Medved for giving out false info, ok?

It sounds funny, but it truly is heartbreaking that all across this state people can walk into a store and legally buy pot.

So sad...

I hope we find out what’s behind the shooter at UCC.
