Terribly sad news, Gunnar.
The shooter has reportedly been detained now (not clear if he's down or in custody).

The community college is in a rural area about 3 hours south of Portland in Roseburg, Oregon.
A picturesque campus in the North Umpqua River Valley, the school prides itself on a "a peaceful, safe atmosphere, and year-round recreational activities," according to its website.
It's not a traditional institution of higher learning, as the average age of its 13,600 students was 38 during the 2013-2014 school year. Only 740 of those were full time, 2,437 were part time and more than 10,000 fell under the umbrella of "community education."
The shooting is believed to have taken place in the college's science building.
Students were moved off campus by authorties, with bag checks and patdowns occuring before they were allowed to leave.
