Multiple Updates Below Shooter IDd as 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer ♦ Last night an anonymous poster on the Website 4Chan posted a warning of an intent to carry out an attack at a Northwest U.S. Community College (CACHE HERE). ♦ Today an attack was carried out:
According to this Local report: The gunman who opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Oregon asked victims to state their religion before opening fire, according to multiple reports. An 18-year-old student told the News-Review newspaper that the gunman, after shooting her teacher in the head through a window, told people to get on the ground. He then told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire. Twitter user @BodhiLooney, who said her grandma was at the school, said the shooter asked people if they were Christian. If they said yes, then they were shot in the head, she wrote. If they said no, or didnt answer, they were shot in the legs.
♦ Umpqua Community College was/is the local college attended by Alek Scarlatos (pictured below far right). Scarlatos was one of the 3 U.S. Heroes who took down the jihadist gunman on the train in France recently. Alek was enrolled in this current fall semester (per his Facebook), however he cancelled his classes and took time off to take advantage of an opportunity and complete in Dancing With The Stars.

♦ EARLER The FBI and DHS are warning members of the United States military to scrub their social media accounts due to a growing threat from ISIS terrorists.
Catherine Herridge reported on Happening Now today on the joint bulletin that went out over the weekend. The bulletin said the FBI has information suggesting individuals overseas are spotting and assessing like-minded individuals who are willing and capable of conducting attacks against current and former U.S.-based members of the United States military.
Officials want current service members and veterans to review their social media posts and remove information that could attract the attention of ISIS and its supporters. (link)
Was this an act of Jihadist Retaliation?
Curiously, authorities are refusing to release the name of the gunman.
update-1UPDATE: Shooter is being Identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer
♦ Chris Harper Mercer is Social Media friends (My Space) with only two people. One of those people is Mahmoud Ali Ehsani as noted above.
♦ If you look at the profile of Mahmoud Ali Ehsani (aka: Dick_hard_like_a_pistol ) what you find is a propensity toward Islamic Extremism and Jihad. Heres a sample:
While it is difficult to determine the timeline of the relationship; the possibility remains that Chris Harper-Mercer may have been recruited and radicalized. More research needed.
♦ There is also a Chris Harper-Mercer who held a profile on a Dating Website Spiritual Passions (Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow) Under the alias IRONCROSS45 : (LINK)
However, WARNING this profile looks to be recently constructed and may be a spoof by the 4Chan website people who are trolling the storyline, angry about the media pointing fingers at the prior story on their site: ( The profile appears edited post death SEE HERE ) So dont necessarily trust the content
Time to run DNA comparison tests?
for those that ‘didnt believe my’comment about this, this is the stuff i was reading yesterday.
USA Mass murderers never attack police stations coz they got guns there. well duhhhhh
USA Mass murderers always attack recruiting stations coz they ain`t got guns there. well duhhhhh
USA Mass murderers always attack military bases coz they they ain`t got no guns there. well duhhhhh
USA Mass murderers always attack colleges and schools coz they ain`t got no guns there. well duhhhhh
see the pattern???
BTTT
Interesting, this is the first time I have heard of a Muslim using 4chan. I had thought that the website was primarily a stomping ground for atheists and Nordic neopagans. It goes to show that jihadists and atheists both require Christians and Jews to be slaughtered to reach their utopia, and they are quite content to work with one another to achieve their goals.

Herridge is one of the most respected commentators on terrorism in this country.
We had better believe that the Jihadis are out there, prepared to act as lone wolves or en masse.
Any American who is not armed is a fool!
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.
So, this school denies the students their right to protect themselves, then does not provide adequate protection. They should be sued to oblivion.
