Oregon's top federal prosecutor says the shooter used a handgun when he opened fire on classmates at an Oregon college, killing nine and injuring nine others.
Interim U.S. Attorney Billy Williams said Friday Christopher Harper-Mercer stashed a rifle in another room and did not fire it. He says it's impossible to know what the shooter had planned for the rifle.
Williams says all the information investigators have uncovered so far suggests the gunman acted alone.
ATF Special Agent in Charge Celinez Nunez said earlier Friday that investigators recovered six weapons at Umpqua (UHMP'-kwah) Community College in Roseburg and seven others at the gunman's apartment.

You mean not one of those evil black guns?
Shooter used EVIL in Oregon slayings.
Authorities on Friday identified the nine victims as 19-year-old Lucero Alcaraz, of Roseburg; 18-year-old Quinn Glen Cooper, of Roseburg; 59-year-old Kim Saltmarsh Dietz, of Roseburg; 18-year-old Lucas Eibel, of Roseburg; 67-year-old teacher Lawrence Levine, of Glide; Jason Dale Johnson, of Winston; 18-year-old Rebecka Ann Carnes, of Myrtle Creek; 44-year-old Sarena Dawn Moore, of Myrtle Creek; and 20-year-old Treven Taylor Anspach, of Sutherlin.
"...Fellow Americans, despite their complete non-involvement in the Oregon tragedy, a machine gun like the AR-15 could have been used, so we must embrace reasonable and commonsense legislation like banning all firearms and especially semi-automatic revolvers..."
shooter used his hatred and bigotry to target Christians, oh wait, silly me. The fairy in chief will never say that ,nor the pathetic media even if it is the truth.
Sue the school for denying their rights to protect themselves and not providing adequate protection..
The LEO’s in Oregon need to get their act together. Not releasing the killers name and photo is dangerous stuff. Some day there will be a cell of jihadists and citizens have a need and right to know who is going on a killing spree so they can be prepared and give info to authorities.
Stash in a classroom?
Nope.
CCW is allowed by the school. It is the student body that forbids it. A lawsuit against the student body is worthless.
So...I’d tell the “student body” where to shove it
Autumn Vicari told NBC News her 19-year-old brother J.J. was in a classroom when Harper-Mercer opened fire but managed to escape. He saw the gunman ask victims if they were Christian and if they responded ‘yes’, he shot them in the head. If they said ‘other’ or refused to answer he shot them in the body.
People are dead because of him, not the tool he used.

I did not know that our killer was a student at this junior college.
He was registered "Independent"
Where are the parents? we need to see them and hear from them.
Darn! There goes my Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver!
