BEIJING, Oct. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- The gunman who killed nine people at the scene, and wounded another 7 in a shooting rampage at a college was heavily armed with 13 weapons.
Federal agents said the gunman, who was killed by police, carried six guns, body armor and five magazines of bullets to campus Thursday morning. Seven more firearms were recovered, with a significant stockpile of ammunition at the suspect's apartment. The gunman was identified as Chris Harper-Mercer.
The 26-year-old was a student at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, and enrolled in the writing class where the shooting took place. US President Barack Obama reiterated his anger at gun violence at a press conference on Friday, calling on the public to press their politicians to support reform.
The Huffington Post said this is the 45th campus shooting in the US this year.
