While Nigeria celebrated its 55th Anniversary and independent day, about 13 people are feared dead while 20 more suffered some degree of injuries at Umpqua Community College, Oregon, USA.

A 20-year-old gunman who killed at least a dozen people at an Oregon community college died in a shootout with police Thursday, officials said.

“There was an exchange of gunfire,” Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said at an afternoon press conference. “The shooter threat was neutralized and officers continued to sweep the campus looking for other threats.”

Officers responded to a call about an active shooter in a classroom at Umpqua Community College at 10:38 a.m. — and found him inside a building. No officers were injured during the exchange of gunfire.

Four guns were recovered at the scene, a source told CNN.

Police officials would not confirm the number of victims, but the Oregon attorney general said the death toll was 13, according to MSNBC. At least 20 more were wounded, according to news reports.

Douglas County Fire Marshal Ray Shoufler told CNN that victims were found in “multiple classrooms.”
While the shooter has not been identified, CNN reported that investigators are examining social media postings made by a young man who they believe to be the shooter.

And the gunman may have sent out an ominous warning the night before the massacre.

One Twitter user posted a link to a 4chan post, in which an anonymous poster wrote last night, “Some of you guys are alright. Don’t go to school tomorrow if you are in the northwest.”
“Happening thread will be posted tomorrow morning…so long space robots,” the user continued.
Mercy Medical Center said in a Facebook post that the hospital has already received nine victims, and three more are on the way.
“Please continue to pray,” the hospital wrote.

The wounded include a woman who was shot in the chest, according to CNN. Non-injured students and college staff were being transported to local fairgrounds.

Just after the shooting, one college official said the campus was on lockdown.

“We’re asking that no one come to the campus,” the official said. “The road coming into the campus is pretty small so we don’t want parents coming onto the campus.”
“We’re all just kind of staying inside right now,” she said. “We’re all pretty calm.”
The official said the school had a lockdown drill just a week ago.
“We talked about lockdown and what to do in the case of a lockdown so we’re prepared,” she said.
Some students took to Twitter to describe the chaotic shooting scene.
“Omg there’s someone shooting on campus,” wrote Twitter user Kayla Marie. “Students are running everywhere. Holy God.”

The Oregon community college, which is located in Roseburg, has about 3,300 full-time students and 16,000 part-time students, according to its website. Roseburg is roughly 180 miles south of Portland.
