ROSEBURG, Ore. — The gunman had already shot several students at close range when he stood inches from Lacey Scroggins and demanded she stand up.

It was only the fourth day of community college for the 18-year-old aspiring surgeon. She was faced down, her head tucked between her outstretched arms among dead and dying classmates.

Scroggins could hear someone gurgling. She felt the weight of mortally wounded Treven Anspach against her, the 20-year-old's blood flowing onto her clothing....

This is the kind of story that encourages copy-cats to go forward with their plans.

A better story would have been the one that had one of the students pulling his concealed pistol and capping the killer within seconds.

"Lacey Scroggins said she heard a burst of gunfire and then the shooter said one last thing.

“You got me. I’ve had enough. I quit,” her father recounted.

The sheriff and media are now saying he shot himself.

I’ve heard that too. But you got me, could me, that he knew he was overpowered. I just don’t want the police to go through an “unlawful” death suit.

If he was not specifically targeting Christians, then why were some shot in the head and others in the leg?

I am still waiting for a report on the 13 or 14 guns the shooter supposedly had.

How many guns were purchased by the shooter’s mother?

Does the 13 or 14 guns include or exclude the guns owned by the mother?

It seems the media and the law enforcement are doing all they can to cover up the “blackness” of the mother and that she owned a bunch of guns and she let her mentally ill son use those guns.

I guess it does not fit the “white supremacist” motive pushed by Obama and his leftist minions.

...placing the small town of Roseburg among settings that have become infamous for inexplicable violence.

ie Gun Free Zones.

It's actually quite explicable.

I found it very odd and confusing that what ended this were others shooting at HIM! That is so weird because I’ve been told good people with guns are as bad or worse than bad people with guns.

It is suppose to be him. You would have to do a side by side to see if it is
