Umpqua Community College, near Roseberg, Oregon. The shooting started in classroom 15, in Synder Hall. The shooter had two semi automatic handguns, (Glock 19 and Taurus PT24/7), plus others that he did not use. All were purchased legally by the shooter. He shot the English teacher at point blank range, then methodically shot the other students in the room. Some students were shot multiple times.
Two plainclothes detectives from the Roseburg Police Department were the first to respond to the scene. They arrived at the hallway of Snyder Hall at 10:44, six minutes after the first 9-1-1 call was received. Two minutes later, the perpetrator reloaded his handguns and leaned out of the classroom, firing several shots at the officers. They fired three shots in return, hitting him once in the right side. After two more minutes of shooting at the officers, the wounded shooter retreated into the classroom and killed himself with a single shot to his head. It was all over in 10 minutes.
