On Oct. 1, 2015, yet another attack on young adults occurred in Roseburg, Oregon. A 26- year-old student named Christopher Harper-Mercer killed eight students as well as an assistant professor on the Umpqua College Campus. Another nine students were injured in the event. Witness Matthew Downing said in his statement that Harper-Mercer said to him the day of the event that he was “the lucky one” and would not shoot him if he gave an envelope containing a flash drive to the police. Downing said, “I stood up and he pointed the gun at me and this is the moment I thought I was going to die. He paused for a second and then handed the envelope to me and said to sit in the very back seat and face him.”
