ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — A gunman killed at least seven people and as many as 10 at a community college in Oregon, law enforcement officials said Thursday.

The first 911 calls reported shooting at Umpqua Community College at 10:38 a.m., and several law enforcement agencies responded. Officials said there were multiple casualties, but they were not sure of a number.

Ray Shoufler, a fire marshal with the Douglas County Fire Department, told MSNBC that as many as seven to 10 people could be dead.

The shooter is in police custody.

The college is in Roseburg, in rural southwestern Oregon, about a three-hour drive south of Portland.
