On Thursday the 1st
of October 2015 sporadic shooting took place at a community college in the
western US state of Oregon, which left ten people dead and seven others wounded.
Douglas County Sheriff John
Hanlin said the names of the victims would not be released for 24 to 48 hours
pending notification of next of kin.
“At this time, we are
reporting and can confirm ten fatalities in the shooting,” he said, adding that
there were also “seven additional injuries.”
“We know there are
conflicting reports of the numbers of casualties, and I can tell you that this
number is the best, most accurate information we have at this time.”
The 20-year-old gunman, who
has not yet been identified, was killed following a shootout with police. It
was not immediately clear if the shooter was counted in the death toll given by
Hanlin.
