A heroic student charged at the Oregon college shooter and was shot five times as he tried to save his classmates, his family said.
Army veteran Chris Mintz, 30, was taken to hospital following the massacre at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning.
His cousin Derek Bourgeois told DailyMail.com that Mintz faced Chris Harper-Mercer, 26, who killed at least 10 people at the school in Roseburg.

: Its amazing to sit back and reflect on life, decisions made or avoided, places Ive been and the people Ive met on my journey.
Why waste time wondering when I can enjoy my time experiencing life. Memories are what makes life worth living, even the bad ones bring you the ability to love the good ones.
So if youre lucky, youll find the stars in your life and make a lifetime of one of a kind memories.
If concealed carry were an option, this guy would’ve been packin’ and most of this wouldn’t have happened.
prayers for a Speedy recovery.

...my error. None of this would’ve happened. The shooter twirp wouldn’t have likely tried this in the 1st place.
My guess is that he’s a conservative Christian. When’s the last time a muzzie tried to save lives? Maybe that question should be asked at CNN.
Oregon Shooting: 'Heroic' Veteran Chris Mintz Was Shot 7 Times
In the Daily Mail’s headline last night, the shooter was identified as a ‘conservative republican’. I see this morning that that phrase has been removed.
Keeping good company Chris.
With Chael Sonnen, one tough MMA dude.
Used to be one of my favorites, until he started running off at the mouth.
He was gonna run for political office as a repub.
Not sure if he will follow through.
I confess of being lazy, my day to day routine usually avoids people, i get up, drive to work, i work generally alone on heavy equipment, i might stop at the post office or buy fuel.
So i have two pistols, a compact .380 and a full sized Glock .45 that i keep in the truck, and now i must remind myself that this stuff is happening anywhere and anytime. That its very important to ALWAYS be armed, all the time. Save some lives.
I know last year when my wife was murdered by the EXACT same kind of person as this one and i was critically injured at the same time if i had a gun though i may not have saved her life i surely would have performed a different action.
So fair warning, any gun grabber or gun fearing liberal better stay out of my way cause i’m going frontier justice.
I carry everywhere, even the office can.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Though i would love the extra firepower of the Glock i think its better to concentrate on that little Iver Johnson Pony .380, its just like a half scale 1911 Auto.
Conceal is best, too many gun fanatics around, they think a gun is animated, has magical anti grav properties, is sentient and can read their minds as they sleep. And leaves its owners holster at night to hunt them down.
“If concealed carry were an option, this guy wouldve been packin and most of this wouldnt have happened.”
Not sure if the campus was a gun free zone at the time or not. I saw on Fox earlier this morning that a couple of vets who who were CHL holders and acknowledged they were packing were studying in the student union heard shots and started towards the source but were stopped by an administrator. Big mistake by the administer for stopping these two guys. And, big mistake for allowing the administrater stopping them.
WOW, you are case in point about carrying weapons. You never know when a nut job will strike.
Sorry for your loss. It is tough to lose a loved one...especially to murder.
I’m sorry i was not instilled with life saving magic fingers, the foster son stabbed her in the neck with one of our kitchen steak knives, right out of the blue, right in front of me.
Then he turned on me, stabbed me in both lungs, the back, my neck, all over my hands and arms before i wrestled the knife away, both my lungs collapsed. As i was waiting for the EMT’s and SWAT and bleeding out i was holding her hand as she passed away, the doctor assured me that even if she was attended to within minutes they could not have saved her, he severed her neck artery. Happened last year, destroyed my life, cannot hardly work anymore.
He was just like this shooter, into Illuminati, marxism and thought highly of Obama. And btw, was also racially the same.
Just in case you are curious just google up Mollie Ragonesi,happened aug 21st, 2014 in Wasilla Alaska.
“Foster mother killed” it made headlines all across the country.
That’s horrible; I am so sorry.
