ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — The victims of the deadly Oregon college shooting ranged in age from 18 to 67 and included several freshman students and a teacher.

Authorities on Friday identified the nine victims as 19-year-old Lucero Alcaraz, of Roseburg; 18-year-old Quinn Glen Cooper, of Roseburg; 59-year-old Kim Saltmarsh Dietz, of Roseburg; 18-year-old Lucas Eibel, of Roseburg; 67-year-old teacher Lawrence Levine, of Glide; Jason Dale Johnson, of Winston; 18-year-old Rebecka Ann Carnes, of Myrtle Creek; 44-year-old Sarena Dawn Moore, of Myrtle Creek; and 20-year-old Treven Taylor Anspach, of Sutherlin.

A statement from Eibel’s family says he volunteered at a wildlife center and animal shelter. He was studying chemistry and loved to play soccer.

The victims included a freshman who was active in Future Farmers of America and loved to play soccer. Another was an 18-year-old who graduated from high school in June and was in his fourth day of college.

Yet another was a 34-year-old who was proud of himself for recently enrolling at Umpqua (UHMP’-kwah) Community College.

Cooper’s family says he was funny and compassionate and loved dancing and voice acting.

A statement from Johnson’s family says he was a Christian and recently enrolled in school.

Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin also clarified Friday that nine people were injured in the shooting.

  2. We need a wall on the National Mall. Maybe the GOP/Teatrolls will start fucking caring about this shit when they keep having to budget for additions to the wall.

    I thought it was 10 dead.

  4. I thought we decided we don’t need names?

    This is just 2nd amendment collateral damage.

    Let them pass and forget about them. Why waste time grieving when another batch will be along next week or the week after.

    Think about all the feelings we’ll spare. No person need feel guilty about their relation to the shooter. No person needs to be reminded of their crippled or dead relatives. Lets not pick the scabs on our wounded hearts.

    Nothing we can do but just let them go.
