Law enforcement officials have identified Chris Harper Mercer as the person responsible for the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, according to CBS and NBC.
He was armed with four weapons -- three handguns and one assault weapon, according to NBC News' Pete Williams. He was not a student at the school, authorities said. They are still working to figure out his connection to UCC, Williams said, and have uncovered "documents that expressed the philosophy of hate."
