At Least 10 Killed in Oregon Community College Shooting - from TRUNEWS

A gunman has killed at least 10 people at Umpqua Community College in Rosewood, Oregon, a rural area about 40 miles south of the state capital Eugene.

Oregon State Police released the death toll number of 10 although it has fluctuated throughout the afternoon as the situation continues to develop.

Douglas County Commissioner Chris Boice told CNN the shooter was in custody but did not say if the shooter had been wounded.

Police also said that at least 20 people were confirmed wounded and receiving medical attention.  Their conditions were not released to the media although the CEO of LifeFlight told KGW that 6 people were in critical condition.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) reportedly rushed to the scene and confirmed they are bringing in K-9 units to search for explosives and munitions.

Students were on social media saying police were checking student identification and their personal backpacks and purses before putting them on busses to remove them from the scene.
