Relief funds set up for Umpqua Community College victims
The Greater Douglas United Way and Umpqua Bank are working together to set up a relief fund for people affected by Thursday's mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the UCC tragedy," Greater Douglas United Way posted on Facebook. Umpqua Bank gave an initial $25,000 donation to the fund.
Rogue Credit Union in Medford, Ore., also established a donation fund for shooting victims and their families. It will match 2,500 in donations for the community, according to a Facebook post.
Ten people were killed and seven injured Thursday after a gunman opened fire in a classroom at a community college in southern Oregon.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said the gunman was shot and killed during an exchange of gunfire with officers at Umpqua Community College.
Hanlin refused to name the killer, saying, "I will not give him the credit he probably sought prior to this horrific and cowardly act. You will never hear me mention his name."
