The Latest: Official says at least 7 dead in Oregon shooting

Roseburg, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say at least seven people are dead and 20 others are injured after a shooting at a southwest Oregon community college.

The shooting happened at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, about 180 miles south of Portland.

State Police Lt. Bill Fugate tells KATU-TV that seven to 10 people were killed and at least 20 others were injured.

A photographer for the Roseburg News-Review newspaper says he saw people being loaded into multiple ambulances and taken to a local hospital.

Umpqua Community College has about 3,000 students. Its website was down Thursday, and a phone message left at the school wasn't immediately returned.

The Oregon State Police and Douglas County Sheriff's Office also didn't immediately returned calls from The Associated Press seeking additional details.
