The gunman who opened fire at an Oregon community college was forcing people to stand up and state their religion before he began blasting away at them, survivors said Thursday.
A woman who claimed to have a grandmother inside the Writing 115 class in Snyder Hall, where the massacre unfolded, described the scene in a tweet.
“The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian,” she wrote. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs. My grandma just got to my house, and she was in the room. She wasn’t shot, but she is very upset.

Lord, when the time comes, I pray that I will have a bullet in the head and not one in the leg. What a beautiful witness from those dearly-departed souls.
Odd claiming we don’t know the gunman’s name: the article reports his name as Chris Harper-Mercer and has a photo, unassuming, light skinned African-American (maybe what in the old days was called a quadroon or octoroon) by the looks of him. The local sheriff has vowed not to say his name, but I think that’s trying to set a precedent of not giving mass shooters publicity, rather than not knowing his name, since the NYPost seems to have it.
Understand ..... I just do not go where such is posted .... and if I absolutely have to go where the sign is posted I carry anyway.......”F’em” Proper concealed carry sort of makes discovery very very remote.....
Hope yer well.....stay safe !
The MO when this type of thing happens is to bury this aspect of the shooting and amp up another, in this case gun control. Just like in the Charleston shooting where it was buried in favor of the racial angle.
I was at another site indicating that the killer had posted some serious sex stuff. I entered the URL listed and got this page. The sex stuff was gone but this disturbing photo was there with an Arab name. I then hit a wrong button and lost everything and now cannot find where I started. So I don’t know if this was fake or if it was deleted here at FR. Entered “Oregon” in the search box but didn’t find it there.

Uh oh! Obama spoke to soon when he condemned the shooter. If he had known he was killing Christians he would have praised his actions.
“And this is EXACTLY why we don’t know the name of the gunman yet..just that he was 20 years old. ..”
Yes. I told my husband if it’s a Muslim they will hold back his name, as long as possible. Husband said, if they know his age, why don’t they know his name.
“Shooters name was Shiv Sharma”
Where did you hear that?
I’ll bet the shoot was a fag.
Left wing organizations push hatred of Christians... those groups have blood on their hands too...
The killer was fulfilling the left wing fantasy of killing Christians.
Did you see how the press and democrats recoiled in horror at the thought the Pope would speak to a woman who believed marriage was between one man and one woman?
That hate - the cultural hate of every left wing nutjob - pushed this guy over the edge.
The picture of the perv makes it clear he is a punk homosexual.
Obama will probably give him a posthumous Purple Heart and Medal of Honor for killing committed Christians.
Thanks, Wildhighlander57———HOWEVER, there may be more , way more to this stupefying “coincidence” and the fact that this guy is on Dancing with the Stars right now. I think it’s on tonight and I wonder if they will touch on it during the competition. I am getting more and more suspicious of this Skarlatos character, sorry to say. It’s all too perfect a story. I hope I am wrong.We will probably never know the truth behind this all-too-coincidental story (terrorist on a train, takedown by young guy who was a student there,and his two buddies,takedown celebrated by the world, much publicity,much more publicity with DWTS tie-in, and an obscure Oregon Community College being “selected” by a shooter, and the incident therein which serves to solidify a number of overlapping agendas. If you broke all these components down statistically,it would probably be one in a BILLION. Stay tuned, for the DWTS show, and the rest of it, if the pieces ever get put together.
Turns out they didn’t even know his age (he was 26, not 20), along with dozens of other assumed facts about his identity and possible motives, spread out among maybe legitimate, maybe illegitimate MySpace and Facebook accounts. A LOT of possible disinfo out there,which is there one day, and disappears the next, which may be designed to “satisfy” us onlookers into grabbing whatever fits our individual agendas. Thereby creating all kinds of probably intentional confusion. One thing is for sure, he’s dead, and we will probably never know.
