Roseburg: The 26-year-old gunman who gunned down at least 10 dead and left around 20 injured at an Oregon college on Friday, spared a student and gave the “lucky one” something to deliver to authorities, according to the mother of a student who witnessed the rampage.

Shooter Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer later killed himself as officers arrived, Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said on Saturday.


Authorities have not disclosed whether they have an envelope or package from Harper-Mercer. However, an official said a manifesto of several pages had been recovered.

Bonnie Schaan, the mother of 16-year-old Cheyeanne Fitzgerald, said she was told by her daughter that the gunman gave someone an envelope and told him to go to a corner of the classroom.

Harper-Mercer then told the student that inside the shooter’s backpack was “all the information that you’ll need. Give it to the police,” she said.
