Witness: Gunman Asked About Religion
"Kortney Moore, 18, from Rogue River, Ore., was in her Writing 115 class at Snyder Hall when she heard a shot come through a window.
"She said she watched as her teacher was shot in the head. The gunman was inside the building at that point, she said, and was ordering people to get on the ground.
"Ms. Moore said the the man asked people to stand up and state their religion, and then he began firing."
The gunman who opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Oregon asked victims to state their religion before opening fire, according to multiple reports. An 18-year-old student told the News-Review newspaper that the gunman, after shooting her teacher in the head through a window, told people to get on the ground. He then told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire. Twitter user @BodhiLooney, who said her grandma was at the school, said the shooter asked people if they were Christian. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head,” she wrote. “If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.” Weasel Zippers

"People who write such regulations seem to ignore the fact that criminals and crazy people don’t follow the rules. Gun-free zones are essentially risk-free environments for killers." . . .
Authorities shed no light on the gunman's motive and said they were investigating.
"Hours after the attack, a visibly angry President Barack Obama spoke to reporters, saying the U.S. is becoming numb to mass shootings and that the shooters have "sickness" in their minds."
He showed no concern over the massacre of blacks by blacks in cities, nor of the assassinations of police officers.
