REPORT: Oregon campus attacked by shooter is gun-free zone guarded by unarmed security guard

A community college in southwestern Oregon attacked Thursday by a gunman who killed 13 people is a gun-free zone guarded by an unarmed security guard, CBS News reports.

“Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said 13 people were killed in a shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, and 20 others were injured. The male gunman was killed by officers in a shootout,” CBS Seattle reports, adding:

The community college is a gun-free campus. … Joe Olson, former president of the college, told The Associated Press the school has only one security officer on duty at a time, and that person isn’t armed.

He says last year, one of the biggest debates on campus was whether the school should have armed security officers. He says the college had three training exercises with local law agencies in the past two years, “but you can never be prepared for something like this.”

Well, I got no concerns about that because I don’t agree that a Community College should have a “police force. Security volunteers, sure.

A small local college that REQUIRES an armed and deputized ^police^ force really needs to just close.
