Mother of Umpqua College Shooter Kept Multiple Guns at Home 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
Newly disclosed online postings show the mother of the gunman who killed
nine people at Umpqua Community College in Oregon last week kept
multiple guns in her home and shared her son's passion for firearms. In
the posts, Laurel Harper criticizes "lame states" which restrict loaded
guns in the home, and boasts her son has "much knowledge in this field."
In one three-year-old posting, Harper writes about having "two full
[magazines] in my Glock case. And the ARs & AKs all have loaded mags."
