Father of British-born Oregon shooting gunman says he is 'as shocked as anyone'

The dad of British-born Oregon gunman Chris Harper Mercer (pictured above) has spoken of his disbelief after his son killed 10 people and injured seven in a US college gun rampage yesterday.

The killer burst into Umpqua Community College in Roseburg and opened fire. Eye-witnesses say he was asking victims their religion before shooting people who identified themselves as Christian.

The 26-year-old was later killed in a shootout with police.

Dad Ian Mercer told reporters outside his home he is 'as surprised as anyone' at the tragedy.
He said: "Obviously, it's been a devastating day. Devastating for me and my family.
"I'm just as shocked as everybody at what happened today. I've just been talking to the police and the FBI. That's all the details I have right now, is what you know already."
Police recovered four weapons at the scene, including three handguns and a long-range rifle, according to reports.

    They should quit being surprised and do something about gun use in their country, there are many guns in the hands of the wrong people, the earlier they address this issue, the better for them.
    This ugly trend is becoming too much.
