President Barack Obama announced that he will travel to Oregon this week to visit families of the victims of last week's shooting at the local community college, beginning with Roseburg on Friday. However, there is little information regarding the President's itinerary.

Following the incident, President Obama gave an impassioned speech about gun laws, lamenting how mass shootings have somehow "become routine" in the United States.

In an official statement, the president said, "We know that states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun deaths. So the notion that gun laws don't work, or just will make it harder for law-abiding citizens and criminals will still get their guns is not borne out by the evidence."

While Obama looked very frustrated about the latest shooting and decided to visit families of the victims, the New York Daily News reported that a local newspaper publisher is not keen on having the president in town. David Jacques of the Roseburg Beacon said, "I think that's very inappropriate, and I think it's disrespectful to the families."

"We haven't even identified bodies, we've still got incident command trying to contain the scene, and he's holding a press conference 3,000 miles away from here, telling - almost implying that he could have single-handedly prevented this if the Congress would have listened to him," he continued.

Last week, nine people were killed, and another nine wounded when a 26-year-old man opened fire in a classroom at Umpqua Community College before the shooter turned the gun on himself in a shootout with the police.

According to the Herald Courier, a law enforcement official said that the gunman left behind a manifesto where he ranted about not having a girlfriend. The multi-page document also included a complaint from the shooter about how other people around him thought he was crazy.

The official also said that the gunman wrote he was sane, and that it were the others who were unbalanced.

As for Umpqua Community College, NY Daily News said that faculty, staff, and students alike returned to the school on Monday for the first time since the massacre took place, although classes will not resume until next week.

A student, Madysen Sanchez said about being back on school grounds, "I needed to be here. I needed to come and see my friends, make sure they're OK. You never think that something like this could happen in such a small town," Sanchez said. "And when it does, it just brings us all together."
