The posting is still being investigated by authorities. As of now, no word on its connection to the shooting in Oregon where a 20-year-old gunman opened fire at a community college, killing 10 people and wounding 7 others. The gunman was killed when he exchanged fire with authorities. The name of the victims and the shooter have not been released.

And rightly so. President Obama has given so many of these speeches that, according to his statement, Americans are sadly taking these shootings as “routine.” But this speech on the most recent shooting in Oregon seems somewhat different. You can sense the anger, the frustration in the president as he called out Congress on its refusal to do anything yet again as more Americans are killed.
“This has become routine. The reporting is routine, my response here at this podium has become routine,” the President said.
The president spoke to the American people, urging them to vote for leaders who will lead and get sensible gun laws enacted in this country.

This has sadly become a way of life, or should I say a way of death here in America. Today’s shooting happened in Oregon.
The gunman who opened up shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg Oregon apparently asked students to stand up and state their religion, according to one witness. Kortney Moore, 18, said she was in Snyder Hall when the shooter asked people to name their religion and then began firing.
According to the state attorney, 13 people were killed and another 20 injured. The gunman, a 20 year old, was also killed when he encountered the police.
The night before the attack, the shooter appears to have had a conversation with others online about his intentions, that source said.
“We arrived to find multiple patients in multiple classrooms. Law enforcement was on scene and had the shooter neutralized,” Douglas County Fire Marshal Ray Shoufler told CNN.
He said that two patients died while being transported to a hospital.
The shooting appears to have started in one building before the gunman moved to the school’s science building, the source told CNN. Those killed and wounded were found in at least two classrooms.
This is definitely good news for the Bernie camp. They must be happy with this news.
According to a new report, Bernie Sanders has raised just about the same amount of money mostly from small donors, as Hillary Clinton has, and the bulk of her donor-base is coming from a few large donors and Superpacs.
The Vermont senator’s campaign says he has raised about $26 million for his presidential campaign in the past three months. Coming mostly from small donations given online, the sum underscores the draw of his insurgent campaign among the grassroots of the Democratic Party.
Clinton’s campaign, in its own announcement Wednesday, said she had taken in $28 million. Most of it came from fundraisers hosted by big donors across the country. Many took place in the traditionally Democratic treasure chests of Manhattan and Hollywood. She raised at least $19 million from about 60 events where admission typically cost $2,700, the biggest donation allowed by law.
The Sanders campaign has held just seven traditional fundraisers since launching at the end of April, said Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs, compared to a total of more than 110 for Clinton over the same period.
