Thirteen people have died and at least 20 are wounded after a shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, according to MSNBC, citing the state’s attorney general. It wasn’t clear whether the shooter was among the dead. A local fire department official had previously told MSNBC the shooter is “down” and characterized the situation as “chaotic.” State police Lt. Bill Fugate told KATU-TV that in addition to the dead, which he put at seven to 10, at least 20 people were injured. Umpqua Community College, a school of about 3,000, is located in Roseburg, a rural town about 70 miles south of Eugene. Local hospital Mercy Medical Center tweeted that it has received nine patients and another three are en route. A Eugene hospital said it was expecting three patients, according to MSNBC.
