Initially news media reported the Oregon State Police confirmed that 15 people were reported killed in Roseburg, Oregon. A press conference that was initially scheduled for noon Pacific Time did not occur as of 12:45 p.m. PT.

“The suspect is down.” David Jaques, a reporter for The Roseburg Beacon, updates CNN’s Brooke Baldwin what he sees from the scene of the Umpqua Community College shooting in Roseburg, Oregon.

The shooter was initially reported to have been detained, but in the first press conference at 12:42 p.m. Douglas County Sheriff spokesman Bill Hanlin reported that the male shooter was killed after he engaged in gunfire with the initial police officers that responded to the scene.

Early in the incident there was a report of an active shooter at the Roseburg college campus.

SWAT teams searched building-to-building as a precaution. The shooting occurred at Snyder Hall — general academic building — and continued at a science building.

Some witnesses reported not hearing any shots fired, and were suspecting some type of noise suppression was used with the gunfire. Other students later reported hearing gunshots.

Six Life Flight helicopters were dispatched to the scene. Life Flight network is based out of Donald, Oregon about 158 miles from Roseburg.
