UCC Shooter Posted Plans Online Night Before — And Got Advice (IMAGES) October 1, 2015

UPDATE: 9:35 PM The shooter has been identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer. Officials say that he was not a student.

Chris Harper Mercer, the shooter in the Umpqua Community College shooting, allegedly posted his plans on the social media site, 4Chan, the night before the shooting. In the post, the shooter is referred to as “beta” and is egged on by anonymous posters.

The final post in the thread gives advice on the best way to maximize the fatalities:

“I suggest you enter a classroom and tell people that you will take them as hostages. Make everyone get in one corner and then open fire.”

The thread has since been deleted. However, search engines confirm some of the key components of the conversation and an RSS feed of the conversation has been logged by FreeRepublic.com.

The gunman has not yet been named but has been identified as a 26-year-old male.
