Oregon’s attorney general said 13 were killed and 20 were injured following a shooting at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning. The gunman is also dead. The gunman, whose name is not yet known, attacked UCC’s Snyder Hall. At approximately 10:38 a.m. local time, someone called 911.

Kortney Moore told the News Review that she saw her teacher get shot in the head. “The shooter was asking people to stand up and state their religion and then started firing away, Moore said.”

UPDATE 4:35 pm: NRToday spoke to several witnesses, one of whom said the shooting was apparently motivated:

Kortney Moore, 18, from Rogue River, was in her Writing 115 class in Snyder Hall when one shot came through a window. She saw her teacher get shot in the head. The shooter was inside at that point, and he told people to get on the ground. The shooter was asking people to stand up and state their religion and then started firing away, Moore said. Moore was lying there with people who had been shot.

...

Brady Winder, 23, of Portland, said he was in the room next door when he heard a loud thud that didn’t sound like a gunshot. He then heard a percussion of gunshots and the students all fled out the front door.

They left “like ants, people screaming, “Get out!” Winder said.

He saw a girl swim across the creek while fleeing.
UPDATE 4:21 pm: Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum told MSNBC that 13 people were killed in the shooting and that the gunman is dead.

UPDATE 3:56 pm: NBC News is reporting that the death toll from the shooting is now 13. According to CNN, the shooter is a male in his late 20s.

UPDATE 3:43 pm: Chelsea Gorrow at The Register-Guard spoke to a witness who said the gunman was a male who acted alone.

Don't give the same answer as the previous victims.
