Ten people were killed and at least seven others wounded Thursday after a gunman opened fire at Umpqua Community College. BuzzFeed News’s Claudia Koerner is reporting from Roseburg, Oregon.
Dr. Jason Gray, the chief medical officer at Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg, said in a news conference on Friday morning that "we received 10 patients" from the college.
Of those, three were transferred to higher care facilities. Two were treated and released. Four underwent surgery – two were discharged, one is in critical condition, one is in stable condition. One died. The shooter was not treated at his hospital.
When asked why his injury count contradicted the sheriffs, he said he couldn't explain it.
All of the injured suffered gunshot wounds, he said, to the abdomen, thorax, and extremities. He said he doesn't know all the victim's names.
The victim families and community is griped by "disbelief, anger, sadness" he said, and that "many people are quite numb."
Another hospital, PeaceHealth has two patients in critical condition and one in serious, he said.
