The gunman in Thursday's mass shooting at an Oregon community college specifically targeted Christians, three witnesses said, while online accounts linked to the shooter expressed disdain for organized religion.

Authorities say Christopher Harper Mercer killed at least nine people and wounded at least seven others at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg before he was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police.

Investigators have shed very little light publicly on Mercer's possible motive for the shooting. However, reports indicated they were examining Mercer's online presence very closely. One law enforcement official described Mercer to The New York Times as appearing to be "an angry young man who was very filled with hate." Another official said investigators were poring over what he described as "hateful"writings by Mercer. Oregon's top federal prosecutor told The Oregonian newspaper that authorities had heard rumors that the gunman had issued "some sort of race-related manifesto" before the shooting.

Kortney Moore, 18, told the Roseburg News-Review that she was in a Writing 115 class when one shot came through the window. Moore said she saw her teacher get shot in the head. The shooter then reportedly told the students to get on the ground before asking people to stand up and state their religion. He then began firing. Moore said she was lying on the ground with people who had been shot.

Twitter user @bodhilooney posted a statement on the social network claiming that her grandmother was inside the classroom.

Janet Willis told the Los Angeles Times that her 18-year-old granddaughter, Ana Boylan, had been shot in the back and was airlifted to a hospital in Eugene. Willis said Boylan told her that the gunman asked others in the classroom to rise and state their religion.

"If they said they were Christians, they were shot again," Willis said. "[Boylan and another wounded girl] just laid on the ground and pretended they were dead."

The Daily Beast reported that a MySpace page bearing Mercer's name featured an image of him holding a gun, as well as images of Irish Republican Army propaganda. The website also reported that Mercer created an online dating profile that listed "organized religion" as one of his "dislikes". The profile also described Mercer's political views as "conservative, republican."

The New York Post identified the dating site as SpiritualPassions.com and reported that Harper used the screen name "Ironcross45," a possible reference to a WWII decoration awarded to Nazi soldiers.

The Beast reported that the MySpace page is registered to Torrance, Calif., where law enforcement officials said Mercer lived before moving to Oregon.

Federal law enforcement officials told The New York Times they were examining an online conversation on the anonymous message board 4chan that was posted the night before the shooting. In that conversation, one writer says ""Some of you guys are all right [sic][. Don't go to school tomorrow if you are in the northwest."

The post made no mention of a shooting, Umpqua Community College, or Roseburg, but did include a photo of a crudely drawn frog with a gun used regularly in Internet memes. The messages that followed spoke of mass shootings, with some egging on and even offering tips to the original poster.

BY ANDREA CAVALLIER AND CNN


ROSEBURG, Ore. — Investigators are examining social media postings made by a man, who they believe is the suspect in Thursday’s mass shootings at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

At least 13 people have died and more than 20 others were injured in the shooting, officials say. The shooter, a man in his 20s, has died, Sheriff John Hanlin said at a press conference Thursday.

The night before the attack, the alleged shooter appears to have had a conversation with others on image-sharing site “4chan”about his intentions, the source said.

The post reads:


“Some of you guys are alright. Don’t go to school tomorrow if you are in the northwest.

happening thread will be posted tomorrow morning

so long space robots”

Some people offered advice on how the original poster could carry out the plan.


“I suggest you enter a classroom and tell people that you will take them as hostages. Make everyone get in one corner and then open fire.

Make sure that there is no way that someone can disarm you as it it possible. I suggest you carry a knife on your belt as last resort if someone is holding your gun.”

Another one added:


“You might want to target a girls school which is safer because there are no beta males throwing themselves for their rescue.

Do not use a shotgun. I would suggest a powerful assault rifle and a pistol or 2x pistols. Possibly the type of pistols who have 15+ ammo”

Unlike Reddit where you have to register with a username, users of 4chan are allowed to post anonymously, making it difficult to track down the original poster.

There is no confirmation yet whether the 4chan post that appeared to predict the Oregon community college shooting is legitimate.

Another mass shooting inside of a "gun free zone" another psychotic asshole to be sensationalized by media...

[Hal-9000]

He lined them up and then asked their religious beliefs before shooting? That's some heinously cold shit....


have they got this guy alive and in custody?

[DemonGeminiX]

have they got this guy alive and in custody?

Nope, he's dead. He started firing at the cops when they confronted him.

[Hal-9000]

Good.


People like these 4chan idiots are what really scares me....someone makes a serious post about possibly harming other people and this is the response???

That's not being jaded, that's some fucked up shit too

[HyperV12]

That's 4chan /b/ for you. The shit that's posted there can't be taken seriously, perfect place to 'hide' a declaration of intent.

It's too bad that we couldn't use our technical superpowers to hone in on posts like that and investigate the user quickly...I know people would then bitch about their rights, about NSA spying etc etc but for fucks sake if it could save 10 lives, that sort of investigation is warranted. In the very least if the person was just joking or puffing up their chest online, they would get a very real warning in person about posting shit like that.

Wasn't just 4chan apparently it was on reddit as well.
