Eyewitnesses say the shooter targeted Christians.

Christians were martyred for their faith, on American soil, a fact mostly ignored by most of the Mainstream Media and the White House.

Kortney Moore was inside the classroom. She told the Roseburg News-Review that the shooter ordered students to get on the ground – and then told them to stand up and state their religion.

"And they would stand up and he said, 'Good, because you're a Christian, you're going to see God in just about one second," Stacy Boylan said in a televised report. "And then he shot and killed them."
