1:00 am
so with all that's going on in the world, a big eye on that big hurricane and whether or not it's going to make land fall on the east coast where and when. keep it here with us. our coverage of the shootings in -- the shooting in roseberg, oregon, continues now. >> it's been another tragic news day here in the united states while russian bombs continue to fall in syria today. we will have more on that later. we are awaiting at this hour a news briefing from oregon on that mass murder at that community college there today. >> there's been another mass shooting in america. >> a gunman killed in an exchange of gunfire with police. >> it cannot be this easy for somebody to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun.
1:01 am
we collectively are answerable to those people who lose their loved ones because of our inaction. >> this is the worst mass murder in oregon his rain it is just awful. we are just a few minutes away from prez briefing in oregon, which we believe will include the governor and police officials on the shooting there today. police have identified the shooter in america's latest mass murder. this time the shooter -- the murder was in oregon. the shooter was a 26-year-old man who police say was not a student at the school. at 10:38 a.m. pacific time, police dispatchers received the first 911 calls from umpqua
1:02 am
community college. >> ucc, this is going to be the snyder hall the -- somebody is outside one of the doors shooting through door. there is a female in the computer lab. we do have one female that has been shot at this time. >> they exchanged shots with him. he's in a classroom on the -- it's going to be the southeast side of snyder hall. >> copy roser 17 exchanging gunshots right now with the male. he's in a classroom on the southeast side of snyder hall. >> code 4, the suspect is down. >> police exchanged gunfire with the 26-year-old shooter, killing him at the scene. according to the roseburg sheriff, the shooter killed ten people and injured another seven. multiple law enforcement sources tell nbc news that four weapons were recovered from the scene, three handguns and one assault-style rifle. joining us now, kristen brady, a student at umpqua community
1:03 am
college. can you tell us where you were and what you heard? how it began for you? >> i was actually outside by my car with a friend. i was putting away my anatomy and physiology book and as i was putting it away, my friend and i heard these popping sounds. and at first, we thought it was an engine firing back until a teacher or administrator told us that it was a live shooting and told us to get into our cars. >> you then got into your car? >> i got into my car and then i rather panicked and tried to lay down as much as i could in the car. my friend was able to drive away and on her way out of the school, she was able to pick up a couple of people on her way that was trying to get away from the shooting. >> and at some point, did you get out of your car? what happened next? >> what happened was i started worrying about the other
1:04 am
students in the science building and my teachers. and as i was worrying about that, i saw a student coming out of the science building we're buds in her ears and looking down at her phone. and i chose to get out of my car. i ran to her and shouted there's a shooter, there's a shooter get in the building. and she looked at me and we both ran for the science building. and on our way, i saw dr. richards, our science department, head of science teacher. and then dr. champion, my anatomy and physiology teacher opened the door for us and we all went to the center of the science building, which i found out later is actually probably a very safe place to be. >> and so this sound that you were hearing, if you had just had ear buds in, you're saying
1:05 am
this other student had ear buds in listening to something on her phone she wouldn't hear it? >> the sounds were very muffled. i doubt anyone would associate these pops with a gun. they could have been mistaken for anything, firecrackers, b.b. gun. like i said, an engine fires back. it didn't sound like anything like a gun. >> and christian ten, how long did you stay in the science center? and what happened in there? >> well, it felt like it was about an hour. we probably had stayed there for probably about 30, maybe 45 minutes. and while we were there, we all contacted our loved ones. we went ahead and let them know what was going on. we started sharing phones can each other for those that didn't have their phone. and later on, those that couldn't contact their siblings, most were able to contact their
1:06 am
siblings and loved ones. >> what was the sequence of the gunshots that you heard? i assume you heard an initial burst of gunfire, but then at some point, the police enter the scene after some period of time. and then do you hear gunshots again that would include the police gun fire? >> well, actually, the first round of shots was just a sequence of pop, pop, pop. and then silence. and that's when everyone started panicking and i started panicking, even. once we were inside the building itself, we couldn't hear anything. i almost wonder? that area of that building was just too far in for us to be able to hear anything at all.
1:07 am
we didn't know what was going on until the police came to the science building and told us that they had the all-clear and they were checking everyone at the school to make sure there weren't any other individuals with the gunman. >> were any of the victims friends of yours? >> no. none of the victims already were anyone that i know closely. i don't know if any of them are classmates of mine. there are classmates of mine that i haven't been able to get in contact with because i don't know their phone number. i hope they're fine and made it out okay. >> thank you for joining us tonight and helping explain this to people who are just hearing about it now. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> here's what president obama had to say tonight, some of what he had to say. >> in the coming days we'll learn about the victims, young
1:08 am
men and women who were studying and working hard. their eyes set on the future, their dreams on what they could make of their lives. and america will have grap everyone who's grieving with our prayers and our love. but as i said, just a few months ago, and i said a few months before that, and i said each time we see one of these mass shootings, our thoughts and prayers are not enough. it's not enough. it does not capture the heart ache and grief and anger that we should feel. it does not prevent this carnage from occurring somewhere else in america next week or a couple of
1:09 am
months from fou. >> joining us now, two fathers who have been through this. richard martinez, give us a feeling for what it's like. you went through this, a shooting at the school from your son goes to school. there are parents of every student there waiting for the phone call, just waiting, waiting, waiting for that phone kul there, hoping to hear from their son, their daughter as soon as possible. that they're okay. what is that day like for the people who don't get the call from their son or daughter? >> well, lucy mcbeth who lost her son jordan in florida once said, it's as if every fear that you ever had for your child
1:10 am
comes crashing down on you in one moment. and i've said that when i got that call it took us down to a place we had never been before. you know it's bad to lose a child, but when you get that call, it's -- it takes you down to a place you've never been before. and we've got to do so much better in this country. and i know what those people are going through. you know, you send your kid off to school in the morning and they're livinger that lives and everything is fine. and then the next moment, everything's changed. >> richard, do you have any advice from your perspective on this now to the families that we know at least ten families who are going to be going through your experience? >> well, i think it's helpful to talk to other people that have
1:11 am
been through the same experience. one of the most useful things for me has been talking to people that have lived through this same thing. because we have a lot in common and it's just -- it's -- it's so sudden and so violent and so -- for most of us, it's unexpected. 88 americans are shot and killed in this country every single day. and hundreds are wounded. and we've become -- we've come to accept that situation as normal. there have been more american civilians killed in this country since 1968 and in all the wars we've ever fought. we begin with the revolutionary war all the way through to afghanistan. more american civilians have been killed in this country by gun violence than american soldiers. >> andy parker, we just heard from kristen brady, that she doesn't know if some classmates of hers may have been lost.
1:12 am
this is news that will be -- will probably take 24 hours or so to get through to the entire community there about exactly who's been lost. when it happened to you and it's so fresh in all of our months because it's just months ago that it happened to you with your daughter, you became a gun safety activist fairly instantaneously. what was your reaction to what we heard the president say tonight about this? >> well, he was absolutely correct in that, you know, your heart goes out to the families. and my heart breaks for them. but there has to be an outrage. and my second emotion was, i'm outraged that this has happened again. we're at war. this is like domestic terrorism and politicians do have to be held accountable for it.
1:13 am
virginia is very unique in that we have off-year elections and i've joined every town for gun safe temperature. and i'm going to be working to kick the politicians out to toe the line that have blood on their hands because they're in the pockets of the gun lobby that won't enact sensible gun legislation. so that's, i think, the neigh has to be looking at virginia and we have to hold these people, these politicians accountable for their nonaction. and barbara and i are going to do just that. >> let's listen to another thing the president said tonight. he said that this kind of violence is a political choice. >> this is a political choice that we make to allow this to happen every few months in america. we collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction. >> andy parker, that sounds like what you've been say.
1:14 am
>> that's exactly right. i'm glad the president said that, because that's -- in virginia and across the country, it shouldn't be a democrat or a republican issue, but i'm afraid that there's one party that is completely silent on this issue, won't say a thing. it's time for these people to be held accountable and to stand up and say, you know, okay, well, i'm all right with what's gong on. let's arm every citizen and let's have a shootout. or let's have sensible -- universal background checks, sensible gun legislation. i can say it until i'm blue in the face. we're not coming to take away your guns, people that think we're going to assault the second amendment. we're not doing that. we just want to keep guns out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them. and unfortunately, most republicans in the presidential -- the republican presidential race right now, you hear nothing from these people, nothing. on the flip side of it, you're
1:15 am
not hearing a lot from hillary clinton either. and bernie sanders has a horrible record on gun legislation. it kind of cuts both ways, but right now in virginia, the republicans are silent on this issue. the democrats, led by governor mcauliffe have stood up and said we're not going to take this anymore. and folk, if you -- if you agree with this and you want to join us in this fight, text now to 877877. join rich and i in this fight. now 877877. because, you know, we have got to do something. we're going to mobilize and we are. >> we did get a statement from hillary clinton tonight in support of a new gun control legislation, new gun safety legislation. bernie sanders appeared on this network with chris hayes saying
1:16 am
essentially the same thing as hillary clinton. chris hayes did discuss with him his voting -- bernie sanders' voting record where he's been for some gun safety bills and against others. but richard martinez, the president said tonight that he, of course, was going to be accused of politicizing the issue and then he took that straight on and said this is an issue that needs to be politicized. >> we, first of all, i want to say i agree with everything that andy just said. and i can tell you i have a sense of urgency. the longer it takes us to make common sense changes to our gun
1:17 am
laws, the more people are going to die for reasons that are completely preventible. and, you know, 26 and 27-year-olds were shot and killed in the sandy hook elementary school. if we had taken the steps we needed to take after that shooting, there would be a lot more people that wouldn't be dead today. you know, there's not one single solution that's going to solve all of these problems. but universal background checks on all gun sales is a good place to start. >> richard martinez, the president talked tonight about how this has become routine, how our news coverage of it has become routine. he fare feared that his own statements about it had become routine. although tonight's statement, there was nothing routine about it. it was very emotional. for you, there is a tragic
1:18 am
routine in the campus shooting, the clij campus shooting. and here we are again at a college campus shooting. i think as you and i and andy sit here tonight, we know this is not the last time we will be discussing a mass murder on an american college campus. >> well, it's -- it's not just the college campus situations. it's not just the mass shootings. and it's not just the mental health issue. there are more women and children killed in dmesing violence situations in this country every single day. the mass shootings in this country, according to the last fbi report in 2013, shows these active shooter incidents on the increase. we've seen it over the past summer.
1:19 am
but it's not just those cases and not just an issue of mental health. there's situations where it's anger management, alcohol and drugs, combined with domestic violence situations, too. we need to look at all aspects of the gun violence problem. we need to the sensible solutions. this is the 21st century in the united states of america. we're the most advanced country in the world and we can do better than this. >> andy parker, your daughter can claim to have been a unique victim, the first one to have been killed on live television. and it makes her in many ways uniquely memorable. it's one of the easiest cases for anyone to bring back in their minds. what happens to you as a parent, what happens to you as an emotional person on nights like this when america revisits this kind of violence that your family went through? >> well, lawrence, it just rips your soul and your heart out again.
1:20 am
and as i said, it's -- it's outrage. it just makes you so angry and it just makes you want to do more to help get this thing solved and find a solution. >> and andy, you immediately became activated on the gun safety issue legislatively. after. sorry, andy and richard, we have to go to this life briefing from oregon right now. >> the families and the victims of today's horrific incident. we have paired up deputy and detectives with the family members of the deceased to help work through the process of grieving and answering questions to the families of these victims. also in an attempt to help identify the victim that we have mentioned earlier. as we talked previously, this is considered a mas casualty, and with a mass casualty comes protocols, protocols that will likely
1:21 am
result in us not being able to release the names of the victims until at least tomorrow. obviously notifications of the families is our priority. and we would ask that the media respect that. respect the victims and respect the families as they manage these most difficult times. we have information to believe that we know who the shooter is. the official i.d. will come from the medical examiner's office. let me be very clear, i will not name the shooter. i will not give him the credit he probably sought prior to this horrific and cowardly act. media will get the name confirmed in time. but you will never hear me mention his name. we would encourage media and the community to avoid using it. we encourage you to not repeat it. we encourage you not to glorify and create sensationalism for him. he in no way deserves this.
1:22 am
focus your attention on the victims and the families and helping them get through this difficult time. we do know that we have at least two heroic officers who responded into the building within minutes and exchanged gunfire with the suspect. the oregon state police is handling the aspect of the officer-involved shooting and will release any information surrounding that portion of the investigation at some point in the future. we do know that we have at least two heroic officers who responded into the building within minutes and exchanged gunfire with the suspect. the oregon state police is handling the aspect of the
1:23 am
officer-involved shooting and will release any information surrounding that portion of the investigation at some point in the future. tactical teams and bomb squads have cleared all of the buildings on the campus. they are currently going through the hundreds of vehicles parked in the parking lots to clear those as well. evidence teams from the fbi and from the oregon state police are working to process the crime scene. again, i want to thank the hundreds of law enforcement officers, mental health counselors, victim specialists, and others from all over this state that have responded here today to help my agency and this community. with that, i would like to introduce the president of the umpqua community college, rita cab bot. >> thank you very much. i would like to begin by offering my heart felt
1:24 am
condolences and the condolences with everyone connected with ucc, to the families of anybody who was hurt today. in any way, emotionally or physically. this has been a long, sad tragic day at ucc, and the thing that we should take away from it is the power that love can bring to this community. we saw people rush to our help, rush to assist us, rush to comfort us. people all over the community came in. i think that's one of the blessings of a small town is that we're so interconnected. even though i've only been here a short period of time, the friends i knew we had all came and did everything we possibly could. they're still here helping us and they will continue to help us as we go back to normalcy. this is going to take us some time and we need the patience of the community.
1:25 am
but we plan to have the college functioning safe and comforting as soon as possible for our students to return. this is a crisis and we are asking for help and receiving help. it's important, i think, we can focus on what would cause somebody to do this horrendous act. and i absolutely agree with the previous statement that the focus should be on how many people open their hearts to help us today. thank you. >> i will be headed over to the candle light vigil now. and with that, i will ask my public information officer to come up and answer any questions and discuss any other administrative issues. so just a couple of items here. we will be continuing to post information to our twitter account.
1:26 am
and we're using the #ucc shooting at douglas coso. further updates will be posted to that twitter account, as well as/alert eugene.net. it's not determined when the next briefing will be, but when that's decided we will post that information flash alert.net and social media accounts. and that's all i have. i just have a couple of logistics items, if you could just bear with me for a few minutes here. >> do you suspect we're going to have a briefing tonight or is that still not clear? >> not clear. >> these two officers what agency do they work -- >> we're not taking any
1:27 am
questions tonight. thank you. >> when do you expect to get an update. can you spell your name for us. d-w-e-s-h-u-t-s-o-n. >> first name? >> dwest, d-w-e-s. >> pete, we just heard from the sheriff that they do have the identity of the shooter, as we have known far while now. hi has said, quote, you will never hear me say his name. that's a policy i've been employing for a couple of years. the name is useful to get out there in event that some people might be able to add information that the police might want to know. but there's a point to just how repettive we should be with that and how much, as the sheriff was concerned, how much glory or crazed glory in the minds of the shooter we should give them after the fact. >> sure.
1:28 am
you're right, but at the same time, the fbi has a tip line and asking for information. so you can't ask for information about the gunman if you don't identify who the gunman is. law enforcement officials have told us he's a 26-year-old man who had a home in the area, chris harper mercer, but they are puzzled about why he chose this particular target. they say he wasn't a student. they don't know if he was working there. perhaps he was doing some part-time work, but they're not aware if he was an employee. they're trying to figure out what his connection was to the college and why he chose it as a target. we're told they have found some documents, some things he wrote in which he exprezzed what one official called a philosophy of hate.
1:29 am
we don't know if these were notes that he left behind from the shooting scene or things they have found subsequent to the shooting searching his house. the other thing we're told is what fire power he had with him. they said when he entered the school, he had four weapons, free handguns and an ar-15 style assault weapon. so they're looking through his background now. they're trying to figure out what he was doing in the days and hours leading up to this. there's been quite a lot of talk about a possible social media tipoff that something was going to happen 3 a couple of law enforcement officials tell us they're well aware of these. they're an a chat room site and they haven't reached a conclusion about it, but their knuckleball assessment is that these are postings unrelated to the shooting, not from the gunman himself.
1:30 am
but they're looking into his background. >> noo a community like this, a small town community, if a mass shooter is looking for population density, the choices are movie theerts or community college campuses like this. >> yes. sure, i'm sure we can think of lots of other place where is people congregate. and, in fact, where mass shootings have been carried out in the past. fast food restaurants, churches, even people on the street. so why he chose this school, i don't know. your supposition that he was just looking to kill the largest number of people, that could be. perhaps that what they'll conclude. >> in your experience in these investigations, especially with the smaller town -- or smaller county investigative force, how heavy is the federal involvement
1:31 am
at this stage of the investigation? >> at this point, it's always different when the suspect is dead. that changes about whether it's going to be the local or federal agencies who will prosecute. there's not going to be a prosecution unless other people are found involved, which we don't think is going to be the case. it's a murder case, so the local authorities have the lead. the federal authorities will offer their assistance. now, you just heard the sheriff say the fbi will help to process the crime scene. the fbi has very experienced evidence technicians, a lot of experience they can bring to bear on trying to reconstruct how the shootings happened, the ballistics involved. the atf can help trace the weapons, i guess i should say, figure out where they came from. whether they were purchased. in a situation like this, they are assisting the locals charged in the investigation and it will probably remain that way.
1:32 am
>> thank you very much for your reporting on this tonight. coming up, more on what president obama had to say about our latest mass murder. you're looking at live pictures of that candle light vigil that the sheriff said he was going to right now. that's tonight in roseburg, oregon. alright, be alert here. peyton! i needed this big screen to show you the big toppings on the new monster toppings pizza. they're big, aren't they? yeah they're huge. but really? now? is this really happening? up your game with our new monster toppings pizza 33% larger than our large with monster-sized pepperoni and italian sausage, just $12. add garlic or cinnamon knots for $5 more. better ingredients. better pizza. better football. at the new papa johns.com
1:36 am
>> the president says this is something we should politicize. >> there is a gun for roughly every man, woman and child in america. how can you with a straight face make the argument that for guns will make us safer. we know that states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun deaths. so the notion that gun lows don't work or just will make it harder for law-abiding citizens and criminals will still get their guns, it's not born out by the evidence. we know that other countries in response to one mass shooting have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings.
1:37 am
friends of ours, allies of ours. great britain, australia, countries like ours. so we know there are ways to prevent it. and, of course, what's also routine is that somebody somewhere will comment and say obama politicize this issue. well, this is something we should politicize. it is relevant to our common life together, to the body politic. >> joining us now, eugene robinson, msnbc political analyst and charlie pierce, writer at large for esquire. charlie is also the league political blogger for esquire.com. the president feared routine in
1:38 am
this. he fears exactly what i fear when one of these things happen. how do we come on and treat this as something that is not routine even though it has tajicily become routine. and the president's comments are far from routine. >> you're right. it was a very powerful speech by the president. a lot of it seemed to be extemporaneous and from the heart. the way he worked through this issue and the way he sort of appealed in a very raw way, i think, for people just to listen and pay attention and not let it be routine i thought was extremely effective. the one step he didn't take was to lay out specifics about what we should do. he said we shouldn't take these things lying down, we shouldn't assume he can do nothing.
1:39 am
okay, once we established that, one does have to lay out what are we going to do? what will we go through? backgrounds check, assault weapons ban. >> when americans are killed in mine disasters, we work to make mines safer. when americans are killed in floods and hurricanes, we make communities safer. when roads are unsafe, we fix them. to reduce auto fatalities. the notion that gun violence is somehow different, that our freedom and our constitution prohibits any modest regulation. gun owners all across the owner who would hunt and protect their families and do everything they do under such regulations. it doesn't make sense. >> charlie pierce, your reactions to the events today and the president's speech tonight? >> i've been doing the politics blog only since the fall of
1:40 am
gun owners all across the owner who would hunt and protect their families and do everything they do under such regulations. it doesn't make sense. >> charlie pierce, your reactions to the events today and the president's speech tonight? >> i've been doing the politics blog only since the fall of 2011, and this is, i think, the fourth one of these things i have to write about. i was struck by the last bit from the president where he talked about other things we react to. the fact is we only allow
1:41 am
ourselves two political parties in this country and one of our political parties is completely insane. and it's the party when we have mine disasters blocks mine regulations. it's the party that says when we want to fix our roads, you can't have an infrastructure bill, you can't raise the gas tax. when some people have floods, marks chris christie as lousy when he especially accepts help from the federal government. we have between 3 and 600 people running for president, none of whom will do anything about the problem of mass shootings in america. i'm politicizing the hell out of this and i don't care. >> there was a response from jeb bush tonight, much shorter than president obama's. it was just a tweet. he said, jeb bush said praying for the umpqua community college, the victims and families impacted by this senseless tragedy. it seems in your work on the national rifle association, the
1:42 am
candidates supported by the national rifle association are apparently allowed to do nothing but pray. >> every candidate in the republican party running for president accepts the premise put forward by the gun lobby that these national tragedies, as well as the drum beat of daily gun violence is the price, the necessary price of freedom, or the gun lobby's interpretation of the second amendment. they don't want to say that out loud. they certainly don't want to get into a debate about that. neither do the politicians in the republican party running for president, nor the gun lobby, but this is the view that the gun lobby puts forth and it's what impedes effective zbun -- gun reform in the united states. if we're going to move forward, politicians seeking the gun reform and the gun reform movement needs to challenge this premise hetd on. >> thank you for joining us tonight. appreciate it. coming up, more with our panel. we stop arthritis pain,
1:45 am
so you don't have to stop. tylenol® 8hr arthritis pain has two layers of pain relief. the first is fast. the second lasts all day. we give you your day back. what you do with it is up to you. tylenol®. >> there's few things worse than getting a phone call saying your child is gone. your child is gone.
1:46 am
or your brother, your sister. your husband, your wife. we're basically the only civilized country in the world where we have these massive murders in our country. and 87% of the american people agreed with the proposal i put together for the president on background checks and gun safety. >> coming up, president obama gets tonight's "last word."
1:49 am
1:50 am
the wrong hands and save lives and i am committed to doing everything i can to achieve that. >> we're back. eugene, i'm hoping that the questioners at the first democratic presidential debate are going to start working on specific questions about gun control, gun safety legislation. we know there are proposals that could reduce gun violence. it's not just mass shootings. there are 30,000 gun deaths a year. about 20,000 of them are suicide. many of which i think would be prevented if a gun had been been right there and 10,000, 11,000 are homicide by guns. that's just astounding when you think 30,000 lives a year and
1:51 am
many could be saved if we could get a handle on the gun problem, the gun scourge that we have in this koun friday? >> bernie sanders said we need sensible gun control legislation which should be used by people who should not have them. is that going to be good enough in the democratic campaign? >> yolgsz r i don't think so. if there's any issue it's the gun issue where he has kind of voted an tennessee in the state and he's been critical of gun control. i think there should be -- it should be easy enough to get a consensus, but there won't be politically, around the idea that there ought to be as hard to get a license. a gun to use a gun as it is to get a license to use a car. if you look at states that have passed tough gun laws, they have fewer gun deaths.
1:52 am
the gun control group has put out a chart and it's very clear there are things we can do, background checks can help, smaller magazines can help. restoring the assault weapon ban could help. we're not lacking for proposals that work. my twitter feed is full of people saying propose one thing that would really reduce this violence. there's a lot of things we could do. but one party doesn't want to bring it up to a vote in the senate, enthere are a lot of democrats afraid of the issue, particularly in rural states. >> when you try to reduce it to the one thing, then you're setting it up as an impossible exercise at this point. >> maybe this is a door, maybe this is an opening for martin
1:53 am
o'malley, who knows. there's a real wildness in our politics and our culture. we just found out a little while ago that the sheriff hanlin who's been all over tv today after sandy hook, he wrote a letter to vice president biden saying he and his deputies would not enforce any federal regulations that might have been forthcoming because ofz their oath -- what they per soofed to be their constitutional duty to their constituents. that puts him in with richard mack and it puts him in with the oath keepers. it doesn't just extend down into the population. it extends down into law enforcement, too. >> it's going to be interesting to watch sheriff hanlin in the next couple of days because before this kind of violence came to his community, as charlie says, he was way out there on the national rifle association extreme edge of this issue. >> it will be interesting to see what he thinks might have prevented it or made it any better.

but based on my experience as president, i can't guarantee that. and that's terrible to say. and it could change. may god bless the memories of those who were killed today. may he bring comfort to their families and courage to the injured as they fight their way back. and may he give us the strength to come together and find the courage to change. thank you.

at this time, we are reporting and can confirm ten fatalities. >> each time we see one of these mass shootings, our thoughts and prayers are not enough. it does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel. and it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in america. >> terror and heartbreak on one of america's college campuses. a lone gunman opens fire during the morning hours at an oregon community college. police are urging the media, and the public, to focus on the victims and their families, not the shooter. >> i will not name the shooter.
