The Portland Oregonian newspaper reported that officers responded at around 10:40am local time to reports of a shooting at the college.

“Students are running everywhere”.

Details of the shooting have been slow to emerge from the rural community about 180 miles south of Portland, with law enforcement confirming only the numbers of dead and injured. The vigil was attended by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, who earlier in the day ordered flags across the state lowered to half-mast.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families”. “In our sorrow, we will remember and honor those lost today, and in this way they will live forever in our hearts”.
