A suspected gunman was detained Thursday after reportedly killing at least 10 people at Oregon's Umpqua Community College, according to CNN.

Preliminary information indicated 10 people were killed and more than 20 were injured at the college, located at 1140 Umpqua College Road in the Roseburg community, Oregon State Police spokesman Bill Fugate told CNN.

TV station KATU initially reported state police said 15 people were killed, but later tweeted there were seven to 10 fatalities.

The shooter was believed to have been detained, Fugate also told CNN.

Roseburg is nothing like Eugene, it’s a rural logging community with tons of rednecks...

KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles is reporting that one of the France train heroes, Alek Skarlatos, is a resident of Roseburg and studied at Umpqua College.

That would be quite a coincidence, don’t you think?

Re: 1. Expect obama to call for more gun control

We first need to take away... every legally owned firearm in the country--

We secondly need to lock up forever... everyone of those that own more than one firearms as they are surely a danger to our society--

We then need to make the entire United States... one big Gun Free Zone--

Hear that? We need to find the shooter and when we find our he is a white dude... we need to outlaw the Tea Party and all the Republicans that agree with such dedicated evil that the Second Amendment is--

Lastly, if, and this is a very long shot, we find out the shooter is a Brother of the Muslim persuasion... we all know, of course, it was the evil gun and White Pride that made him do it!

Gadzooks-- You cannot... make this stuff up

it truly is heartbreaking that all across this state people can walk into a store and legally buy pot.

It's far more heartbreaking when people buy from violent cartels.

"Since I have no effect on this story, I’ll jump to any conclusion I want, ok? And you can blame Michael Medved for giving out false info, ok? " Sorry for the confusion. I was replying to you ,because you asked if the area was liberal. So I replied to you. But You made NO conclusions, so I certainly wasn't referring to you making premature conclusions. As far as Medved - Roseburg is only about a two hour drive to Eugene.

Something bothers me...The gal that tweeted the incident lives
in Rogue River, goes to school in Roseburg, yet right here
in the valley is Rogue CC, bigger, better, closer. Why was
she up in Roseburg?

Law enforcement released the name of the shooter. Chris Harper Mercer. Age 26. Mixed race. Opposes organized religion. Has lots of Irish Republic Army pics on his MySpace account. Recovered 1 rifle and 3 pistols from the scene. May have an affinity for the Black Lives Matter movement.
