Survivor of Oregon Campus Shooting Describes Attack in Facebook Post

Chris Mintz, a 30-year-old man who was shot five times during a mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., described the shooting in a Facebook post that has garnered more than 11,000 likes and 4,000 shares.


Mintz described the day beginning normally, then the horror as gunshots started to ring out and Mintz ran through the campus attempting to alert others to danger before being shot himself. He then lay on the floor waiting for police to arrive.

“An EMT I am friends with was one of the first responders on the scene,” Mintz wrote at the end of his story. “I looked up and saw him walk up to the classroom door and said ‘hey buddy’ he looked at me and responded ‘hey.’ When I saw him, I KNEW WE WERE ALL GOING TO BE OK.”
