October 04, 2015
"She had a dog with her."
A survivor of the Oregon community college mass murder told CNN's Sara Sidner the gunman even shot a wheelchair-bound woman and "seemed happy" about carrying out his deed.
The survivor, a woman, was shot in the hand and wanted to remain anonymous for the interview, CNN said.

She told CNN the gunman entered the classroom at Umpqua Community College wearing a bulletproof vest and "shot toward the back of the wall" and "got everybody's attention."
"He seemed happy about it," the survivor told CNN. "He didn't seem stressed, he didn't seem nervous. When he came in he told everybody to get on the ground ... and the girl in wheelchair, she got off and tried to get down on the ground."
"Wait, there was a woman in a wheelchair during all this?" a shocked Sidner interjected.
"Yeah, and she had a dog with her, and the dog was just on the ground," the survivor added. "And she got off the chair, she went on the ground. And then he told her to get back on the chair, and then she tried to climb back on the chair, and then he shot her."
CNN did not include in its report the identity of the woman the survivor spoke of.
