ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) - When the gunshots started at Umpqua Community College, some people mistook them for falling books. But Army veteran Chris Mintz quickly recognized the threat.
"He was in the military and knew what it was," said Mintz's aunt, Wanda Mintz.
He was hit in both legs, his stomach, his back and in the hand, but the bullets did not hit any of his vital organs. He has two rods in his legs and is going to be in a wheelchair for the foreseeable future, she said.

Protected fellow Americans both in and out of uniform.
Yes. Chris Mintz IS the “Chris” we should be talking about
here. - IF those school “authorities” had allowed this
Chris to have a GUN; so many people would surely have not
died.
Where did you get that from?
That black church massacre...those folks got millions...I believe from Obama.
I cannot believe a media organization is filtering the news to support an agenda! /s
Yes, it is shocking that there is not one image I can find of the mother. So you could say that the media is respecting her bereavement. But come on...when has that stopped them before.
It’s odd.
By the way, there was a post on the gofundme page that said from a Daniel Brown, IIRC, that Mintz had some kind of insurance or something where his medical bills would be 100% paid but this fund would give him a better quality rehab. Maybe this guy means VA insurance. Not sure.
I suspect there is some kind of insurance that will cover costs of all the people hurt on that campus..if not..expect lawsuits.
Americans are generous
Someone on FR said it’s ok for CC on that campus...BUT the “student body” outlawed it...how do you sue the student body? Maybe their “advisor?”
I’m sure there are names attached to those advocates in the student council. They need to wear this.
Agreed!!
The “student body” adheres to policies and regulations of the university. You start where the money is at—the administration.
I suspect that if the shooter’s mom was an Aryan nationalist, there would be plenty of pictures.
Every lie-beral believes citizens must be disarmed.
