The United States of America has recorded another school shooting after a 26 year old gunman named Chris Harper Mercer murdered as many as 9 people and wounded 7 people more at a community college in Oregon, before being shot dead by the police.
Mercer, who lived near Umpqua College in Roseburg was believed to be born in England, before moving moving to US as a boy.
It was not immediately clear how many students were on campus at the time of the shooting. The community college which mostly provides adult education to students in their late 20s, has about 3,000 registered students but only a few hundreds attend full-time.
Meanwhile, the police are investigating reports from survivors that Mercer told students to state the religion they belong to before opening fire on them.
