Oregon College Shooting
by Adrianna Martinez
Chris Harper-Mercer was responsible for the shooting at Oregon community college. He killed nine people who were 18 to 67 years old. Authorities found 13 firearms connected to Mercer, including 5 pistols and one rifle that were found at the college. Mercer died at the college after a gun battle with the police. Authorities are not sure if he was killed by the police or if he turned the weapon on himself. Authorities are looking at blog posts with an email address connected to Mercer. The writings express frustration and loneliness because of not being able to form relationships. This is a tragic and unfortunate event, I feel sorry for the victims' families and friends. This is also scary because college shootings have been occurring more often now. These shootings will make people start to fear attending their schools because they don't feel safe.
