ROSEBURG, Oregon -- The gunman who opened fire at Oregon's Umpqua Community College singled out Christians, according to the father of a wounded student. Before going into spinal surgery, Anastasia Boylan told her father the gunman entered her classroom firing.
"I've been waiting to do this for years," the gunman told the professor teaching the class. He shot him point blank, Boylan recounted.
Others were hit too, she told her family. Everyone in the classroom dropped to the ground.
The massacre on the Umpqua campus Thursday left nine people dead and seven wounded. The gunman also died, although it's unclear whether he was shot by police or committed suicide.
