They have to verify his identity. Just because he has an id in his pocket doesn't prove it's him. He's only 20 so there is a good chance he has never been fingerprinted. They have to find a close relative to look at him and confirm that he is the person his id says he is.

The identity of Oregon’s Umpqua Community College shooter has not been revealed, but that hasn’t stopped some 4Chan users from trying to spread rumors. The netizens tried to spark hoaxes by created phony Twitter accounts to fool the media, Ryan Broderick, a deputy global news director at BuzzFeed, tweeted Thursday.

“4chan members are setting up fake Twitter accounts to tweet fake #UCCSHooting suspects at reporters and media orgs,” Roderick wrote. The post was quickly shared dozen of times.

There were party hats on the post, which led some people to think the 4Chan users were celebrating the deadly shooting.

“r9k is now celebrating the #UCCShooting. They are also floating fake suspects as pranks for media outlets,” Broderick wrote.

But it turned out the hats were in honor of 4Chan’s birthday and had nothing to do with the shooting. “Just an FYI, if you see party hats on 4chan today, it's not because of the shooting.
It's the site's birthday,” the news director revealed.

A screenshot of a thread he posted showed 4Chan users making fun of the misunderstanding: “Media visits the site/thinks we are having a party because there are party hats on every post/ thinks we’re celebrating the shooting.”

The true identity of the shooter has not been revealed, but officials confirmed he was 20 years old and was dead at the scene. The most recent news report said the shooter had killed at least 10 people and injured more than 20 at Oregon's Umpqua Community College Thursday, CNN reported.

The people who were killed and wounded were attacked in two rooms in the science building, CNN reported. Two of the students died in transit to the hospital.

Huh. I wonder what HIS religion was. Probably a white heterosexual male Christian with a legally owned gun.

We'll learn more about him tonight or tomorrow when they release his name and later his picture so we can see his race. Then people who know him can tell reporters everything they know about him or want to make up just to get some attention from the media.

The gunman who opened fire at an Oregon community college was forcing people to stand up and state their religion before he began blasting away at them, survivors said Thursday.

A woman who claimed to have a grandmother inside a writing class in Snyder Hall, where a portion the massacre unfolded, described the scene in a tweet.

“The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian,” she wrote. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs. My grandma just got to my house, and she was in the room. She wasn’t shot, but she is very upset.

The Twitter user then recalled how her grandmother attempted to save the life of one of her close classmates.

“She tried to perform CPR on her friend, but it was too late,” the woman said. “I hope nothing like this ever happens again.”

Kortney Moore, an 18-year-old student at Umpqua Community College who was also in the room, told Oregon’s News Review that the shooter was indeed on the hunt for Christians.

Moments after hearing a bullet come flying through a window, she said the 20-year-old shooter made his way inside and targeted their teacher, pumping a single round into their head.

As the young man ordered people to the ground, Moore laid patiently with her classmates and waited, according to the News Review.

Once they all got down, she said the gunman began asking people to rise and say what their religion was. After they stood and gave their answer, he started shooting.

As the chaos continued, students began scrambling “like ants,” according to Brady Winder, a 23-year-old student from Portland who was in the room next door.

“People (were) screaming, ‘get out!,” he told NRToday, adding that he witnessed a girl frantically swimming across a nearby creek to escape.

Hannah Miles, another Umpqua student, was also sitting in a class room next door and said she initially heard a pop that sounded like a yardstick slapping on a chalkboard when the shooting broke out.

She said that when her class heard the noise again, her teacher went to see if everything was all right. Minutes later, shots rang out repeatedly and they all fled, leaving their belongings behind.

Jared Norman, a nursing student, was locked down in the cafeteria with 50 other students when he heard gunfire — which prompted a mass panic, he said, with his voice trembling.

UCC Foundation Executive Director Dennis O’Neill was also on campus during the shooting and said him and other school officials were running around and securing classrooms as the gunman made his way through Snyder Hall.

“We locked our door and I went out to lock up the rest rooms and could hear four shots from the front of campus,” he recalled.

Christian Bringhurst, a teacher at nearby Camas Valley Elementary School, said his daughter Justine was also on campus at time of shooting and was safely evacuated.

“It’s awful. The uncertainty of what is going on is tough to deal with,’ he explained. “We have a dozen (Camas Valley) kids going to school out there. Trying to find out who is there and make sure everybody is OK. Our hearts going out to the victims.”

At around noon, officials sent out an automated phone call to parents at Roseburg School District, which referenced the shooting and assured the school was safe.

Sometime later, students’ cell phones were confiscated and they were escorted out of their buildings with their hands up as authorities patted them down and lined them up to be evacuated on buses, according to NRToday.

Around 200 people were estimated to be waiting at the Douglas County Fairgrounds to pick up the students. Red Cross grief counselors were also on hand to provide care to anyone who needed it.
