'It's been a devastating day': BRITISH father of US college gunman reveals family's horror after his son - who idolised the IRA and the Nazis - shoots dead 10 in campus massacre
The killer, Chris Harper-Mercer, 26, (pictured left) who is
said to have idolised the IRA and Nazis, yesterday walked into Umpqua
Community College in Roseburg wearing body armour and carrying four guns
before shooting dead ten students and wounding at least seven more (top

Christian before telling them: 'Good, you'll see God in a second' and
shooting them. He was then killed in a gunfight with police. His British
father Ian Mercer, 55, (bottom right) who lives in California, said
today: 'I'm just as shocked as everybody at what happened today. It's
been a devastating day for me and my family'.
