Again. Again. And again. A spree of mass shootings have blemished America within the past half decade–over 40 have occured so far in 2015 alone. The latest–and the fourth at a U.S college campus since August–happened at Umpaqua Community College in southern Oregon.

The alleged shooter is 26 year old Chris Harper. Boylan, whose daughter survived the shooting, told US television network CNN that his daughter described to him how the gunman asked his victims to state their religion before shooting them.

“‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them, ‘and if you are a Christian stand up,’” the father recalled.

The gunman then told the victims: “because you’re a Christian you’re going to see God in just about one second”.

The shooting has left 10 people dead and 7 injured. Speaking on the shooting yesterday President Obama said, “We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months.” A sad truth indeed.
