He shot his classmates.
>>”He was a student at Umpqua Community College and was enrolled in the class where the mass shooting took place.” Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said Friday. It had earlier been reported that he had no connection to the school.

There was in a box he gave a survivor.
>>She said the gunman entered her classroom firing, told the professor teaching the class, “I’ve been waiting to do this for years,” and shot him point blank, Stacy Boylan said.
While reloading his handgun, the man ordered the students to stand up and asked whether they were Christians, Boylan told her family.
“And they would stand up, and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you’re going to see God in just about one second,’ “ Stacy Boylan, told CNN, relaying his daughter’s account. “And then he shot and killed them.”
Anastasia Boylan, 18, was hit in the back by a bullet that traveled down her spine. While she lay bleeding on the floor, the gunman called out to her, “Hey you, blond woman,” her mother said. She played dead — and survived.
Another intriguing element in the investigation: The shooter is reported to have delivered “a box” to someone during the shooting.
Stacy Boylan said his daughter told him the man “gave somebody a box, somebody who lived, and said, ‘You gotta deliver this.’ Somebody has a box. I don’t know what that’s about.”
Law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation told CNN that the gunman handed his writings to a survivor, telling that person to give it to police, but the sources could not confirm the writings were inside the box.
I am surprised that it was first claimed he had no connection. A student theatre production listed him in their program. I don’t recall in what capacity but it was backstage.
