A Fighting Chance

By Bob Owens

Details are still sketchy, but we’re developing a clearer picture of what happened yesterday when an angry, religion-hating loner* entered a classroom at Umpqua Community College in the small timber town of Roseburg, Oregon yesterday, and opened fire:

On Thursday morning, the misfit interrupted a class at UCC’s Snyder Hall, wearing a dark shirt and jeans and spewing bullets from multiple guns.

Students told of hiding between desks and huddling in darkness as the shooter methodically sought out victims.

“There’s a shooter! Run! Run! Get out of there!” groups of students screamed as they ran out of the building. Some hid under cars or tried to hold shut classroom doors.

Witnesses told Roseburg’s local paper, the News-Review, and CNN that M_____ asked students in the classroom he entered to stand up and state their religion.

According to CNN, victim Anastasia Boylan told her father before she went into surgery that M_____ said to the students who identified as Christian, “‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you’re going to see God in just about one second.’”

M_____ was killed in a shootout with police.

The murderer walked into a classroom, had time to interrogate each one of them, and shot them down in cold blood.
