On CNN right now, one person is reporting that a number of military veterans were present at the community college at the time of the shooting earlier today. They report that the veterans wanted to leave the classroom to try and stop the shooter, but the staff at the college stopped them from leaving the classroom. An audio recording of the incident indicates that it took five minutes from the initial radio call for the police to engage the shooter.
Obama would go crazy if this shooter was a gay Muslim.
If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.
I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
They could not stop them. They chose to stay for whatever reason. I was once a veteran in college. I don’t recall any official or Professor there who could have restrained me from acting as I saw fit. They may have had good reason to stay put.
“It also smells like a muzzie thang”
I think it does, too.
Can you imagine what POS Obama would do if the shooter was a gay Muslim?
Remove your tinfoil hat and back away from the keyboard.
This is the first mass shooting here where the victims were asked their religion I believe.
Good luck with that! I had hoped he’d use those connections to find Rosie’s daughter, but he either never thought of it or failed in the attempt.
Yeah you are right about that only if you include young Muslim nuts in that category. But I have no idea about the identity.
The Columbine shooters did too.
If he were a gay Muslim, then he could be his son.
MSNBC is interviewing one of these vets right now.
I’m sorry but if true, this is stupid. If I think I’m under attack I’m going towards the gun fire. Hiding in place, or whatever other BS they call it, is not an option. Stay and die. Maneuver towards the shooter and have a chance at life.
I just read that this was the college that the man on Dancing with the Stars, who stopped the terrorist shooting on the train in France, attended. Perhaps this is retaliation?
Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy had a weapon/conceal carry.
See www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3343564/posts.
Christians shot in the head, others shot in the leg.
The vets name is John Parker. Had weapon on right hip.
Gunman named Chris Harper Mercer per MSNBC.
When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
Act like sheep, die like sheep.
I’m a vet. I’m a college grad. I can’t remember one professor who could have kept me from moving from point a to point b.
