EXCLUSIVE: THE shooter who killed at least 10 people at a US college has been identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper-Mercer, who appeared to have bought Nazi paraphernalia online and supported the IRA.
In disturbing images posted online, Harper-Mercer posed with guns and shared pro-IRA newspaper front pages, an Express.co.uk investigation has found.
He also posted a three-minute video on the social networking site MySpace featuring IRA fighters branding guns and wearing balaclavas.
On his dating profile on the website Spiritual Passions, he wrote that he "doesn't like organised religion".
His username on the dating site was ironcross45 a possible reference to the Iron Cross, a German military symbol reintroduced by the Nazis.
A user with the same name spent almost £100 on a Nazi SS officers' cap on a different website over two years ago.
In a review posted online, the user wrote: "I have received my order. The customer service is the very best, they are fast and very great to work with.
"I highly recommend this company they are a great pleasure to work with. there attention to detail is awesome.
"i will continue to make purchases from this company. i am very impressed with there products/service and highly recommend them. thanks Steve"
It is not known whether Harper-Mercer attended Umpqua Community College in Oregon, where the shooting took place.
He was armed with three handguns and an AR-15-style long gun, and was killed after a shootout with police on the scene yesterday, according to reports.
In his dating profile he described himself as "Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual".
He described himself as a "lover, conservative, professional, intellectual, introvert" and under his interests listed the internet, killing zombies, movies, music, reading".
Harper Mercer also said he was "mixed race", did not drink and was a "conservative, Republican".
He also appeared to write a blog post hosted on a torrent site about Vester Flanagan, who shot two journalists live on air in late August.
He reportedly wrote: "I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are.
"A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day.
"Seems the more people you kill, the more yourre [sic] in the limelight."
The most recent torrent uploaded by the account username was a BBC documentary about the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, according to Gawker.
So what do ya'll think?
Yep and the article also says he self-identifies as a “conservative” Republican.
Live Presser on this now and will not name the shooter via Fox News on Hannity now.
I don’t believe it. I think that the government scrubbed his information.
I think there was a lot of time between the shootings and when his name came out for people to hack websites and make fake websites.
“Harper Mercer also said he was “mixed race”, did not drink and was a “conservative, Republican”. “
The loony left wing will love that.
Is this guy dead or still alive and in custody? I smell another Roodt.
I think he liked militaria and didn’t like religion.
His claim to be a Republican is misdirection (taqiyya). He affinity for National Socialism is 100% consistent with mooselimb views. He looks like a NOI member...even the glasses are the type they favor.
Hard to believe they won’t release the name!
So, do these people shoot up offices and schools to further Obama’s gun control agenda?
Live presser now. Link at Foxnews.com
No conservative I know would have these positions.
The conservative Republican thing is a gibe at us IMHO.
.
The story won't hold.
This is too hard to believe why would this Guy care about a person's religion?
is this article a satire?
you dont have a friend with muslim images on his site if you dont like organized religion. his ONLY male facebook friend
but this is what the media will run with
I know it’s local police focusing on the victims
Only two connections on his myspace page.
One is a lover of Islamic militants
I don’t believe it either. No way is this nut a Conservative.
Something smells really weird!
