The gunman who attacked an Oregon community college this week and killed nine people was once turned away from a firearms academy for being too “weird” and “a little bit too anxious,” according to an instructor for the center, Eloy Way. “We wanted him to take a beginner safety course and he was trying to tell me that he already had experience with firearms and I didn’t get a good feeling about him, so I turned him down,” Way told Reuters. “He was just kind of a weird guy and seemed kind of spoiled, immature. He was a little bit too anxious to get high-level training and there was no reason for it.”
