Bronte Hart, a neighbour in Harper-Mercer’s community of Winchester, said he used to “sit by himself in the dark in the balcony with this little light”. Chris wrote that he was looking for the types of things that many men might be seeking: A soulmate, romance, and other relationship fare.

A flak jacket was found next to a rifle at the school with five magazines of ammunition, Nunez said.
Told Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin: ‘He was a student at Umpqua Community College and was enrolled in the class where the mass shooting took place.’ “Will post more later”.
Added former Rep. and Fox News contributor Allen West: “Sadly, President Obama could not restrain himself and went into his normal rant before all the facts were in”.
Anyone who answered yes was shot in the head, and those who answered no were shot somewhere else, the sister of a witness told NBC News.
“I don’t know what to say”, Carmen Nesnick of Tarzana, Calif., identified as Mercer’s stepsister, told the station.
“Seems the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight”.
Other attributes emerging from the Harper Mercer profile showed that Chris wasn’t much of a drinker, and identified himself as a conservative Republican.
“She would go around knocking on neighbor’s doors”, said Rosario Lucumi, 51. Officials from the school declined to comment on Friday.
She went on to advocate that “the killer should not be profiled extensively, at least not at first….”
She said: “It was like a huge burden had been lifted”.
Harte said a woman she believed to be Mercer’s mother also lived upstairs and was “crying her eyes out” Thursday. His parents, Ian Bernard Mercer and Laurel Margaret Harper, married on Valentine’s Day 1989, divorce records show.
Within a few hours of the shooting, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in Los Angeles fanned out to interview those who knew Mercer from his time in Torrance to help build a fuller profile of his history, beliefs and prior behavior, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the probe.
A MySpace page apparently belonging to Mercer also had Torrance as his hometown.
He said it’s been a “devastating day” for him and his family and he has been talking to police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the shooting.
He quickly returned to return to Roseburg to be with the community but luckily none of his friends were hurt or killed.
From the limited information being released for whatever agenda by the authorities, it is therefore a viable conclusion that Christopher Harper Mercer was just a very confused person because he targeted Christians yet idolised a Christian Catholic terrorist group.
In a blog post linked to Mercer, he said he relished the headlines garnered by Vester Flanagan after killing two television journalists in Virginia earlier this year.
Several people remain in hospital after what was the 45th school shooting in the U.S. this year. “His family described him as alone, no partner/lover”.

The post described Flanagan as “a victim not only of his own perception but also of our social media soaked environment”.
