Authorities release ‘manifesto’ from Umpqua shooting
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
PORTLAND — Oregon
authorities
released
a
detailed report Friday on a
mass shooting at a commu-
nity college that includes a
six-page, typewritten “mani-
festo” in which the shooter
critiqued the methods of
other mass killers and said
he was a follower of the
occult.
The report came almost
two years after the Oct.
1, 2015, shooting that left
nine people dead and nine
others injured in a classroom
at Umpqua Community
College in Roseburg.
It includes a lengthy
transcript from an interview
with the mother of shooter
Christopher Harper Mercer
and an explanation of his
actions that he wrote the day
before the shooting and left
on a thumb drive for police
to find.
Harper Mercer shot
himself in the head after
he was wounded by police.
Authorities found nine guns
stashed in his backpack, in a
college restroom and at his
home.
In the document, the
26-year-old
community
college student wrote that
he is part of a “demonic
Hierarchy” and will become
a demon when he dies and
return “to kill again and
again” after possessing
someone else.
He makes it clear that he
idolizes other mass shooters
and says he has studied their
methods but faults them for
not killing more people or
for not killing police officers.
He also paints himself as
a “loser,” with nothing to
live for and no successes in
life.
“My whole life has been
one lonely enterprise. One
loss after another. And here
I am, 26, with no friends, no
job, no girlfriend, a virgin,”
he wrote.
“But for people like me
there is another world, a
darker world that welcomes
us. For people like us this (is)
all that’s left,” he wrote. “My
success in Hell is assured.”
The report details how
Harper Mercer singled
out one student early in
the attack and told him he
would survive if he passed
an envelope to police when
they arrived.
It held the thumb drive
containing his so-called
“manifesto,” copies of news-
paper articles about other
high-profile mass shooters
and a report on the killing
of children at a Sandy Hook,
Connecticut,
elementary
school.
Harper Mercer’s mother,
Laurel Harper, told police
in an interview the day of
the shooting that her son
was “born angry” and would
have fierce tantrums as a
young child that required her
to pin him in a “bear hug.”
As a young child, he
opened the door of a car
while his mother was driving
on a freeway and tried to
jump out, she said. He was
hospitalized and eventually
placed
on
psychiatric
medications, but he stopped
taking the drugs when he
turned 18, she said.
He pointed a gun in his
mother’s face after getting
kicked out of U.S. Army boot
camp when he was 19 or 20,
she said, and watched videos
of killings on a computer in
his room.
Harper Mercer seemed
less volatile after they moved
in 2013 from California to
Roseburg, a small city about
180 miles south of Portland,
she said.
When she got an auto-
mated phone message about
an active shooting on her
son’s college campus, she
said she first called a hospital
to see if he was there and
then called the jail to see if
he’d been arrested.
When Harper could not
find him, she checked his
room to see if his guns were
missing but could not tell
because his room was so
messy.
At one point, officers
asked if she needed anything.
She replied, “I think I
need my son back. I need
to understand, really why
he did this. I don’t. I’m
guessing.”
