There was in a box he gave a survivor.

>>She said the gunman entered her classroom firing, told the professor teaching the class, “I’ve been waiting to do this for years,” and shot him point blank, Stacy Boylan said.

While reloading his handgun, the man ordered the students to stand up and asked whether they were Christians, Boylan told her family.

“And they would stand up, and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you’re going to see God in just about one second,’ “ Stacy Boylan, told CNN, relaying his daughter’s account. “And then he shot and killed them.”

Anastasia Boylan, 18, was hit in the back by a bullet that traveled down her spine. While she lay bleeding on the floor, the gunman called out to her, “Hey you, blond woman,” her mother said. She played dead — and survived.

Another intriguing element in the investigation: The shooter is reported to have delivered “a box” to someone during the shooting.

Stacy Boylan said his daughter told him the man “gave somebody a box, somebody who lived, and said, ‘You gotta deliver this.’ Somebody has a box. I don’t know what that’s about.”

Law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation told CNN that the gunman handed his writings to a survivor, telling that person to give it to police, but the sources could not confirm the writings were inside the box.

>>Oregon’s top federal prosecutor says the shooter used a handgun when he opened fire on classmates and stashed a rifle in another room and did not fire it. He says it’s impossible to know what the shooter had planned for the rifle.

No, NBC DELIBERATELY OMITTED “one of his only two connections had an affection for Jihadists”.

NBC = Nothing But Crap network.

NEWS’ BEST COVERUP network

I am surprised that it was first claimed he had no connection. A student theatre production listed him in their program. I don’t recall in what capacity but it was backstage.

I saw that too.

>>A post on the Centerstage Theater at UCC’s Facebook page Wednesday night lists a Chris Harper-Mercer as a production assistant in an upcoming show. It’s not clear whether that is the same person as the shooter. The theater is affiliated with the school.

Wondering if his claim to be a Republican was a misguided attempt to identify with the IRA. Otherwise he was obviously BSing about that.

I think the killer and his mother were the only black people in Oregon

Article implies he was born in Cali. Yet Daily Mail reported he was born in England.

IMO, a designated “gun free zone” can, in the blink of an eye, become a killing field.
