ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) – The latest on the deadly shooting at a community college in Oregon (all times local):

12:12 p.m.

Faculty, staff and some students have returned to an Oregon community college for the first time since a gunman killed nine people last week.

Classes at Umpqua (UHMP’-kwah) Community College won’t resume until next week, but the campus reopened Monday to staff, faculty and students who wanted to pick up belongings they left behind when they fled the shooting last Thursday.

The gunman also injured nine people before getting into a shootout with police and then killing himself.

Chaplains and grief counselors were on hand to lend support. News media were not allowed onto the campus in the small town of Roseburg.

An Oregon hospital reports no change in the conditions of three of the most seriously wounded survivors of a deadly mass shooting at a community college last week.

PeaceHealth Medical Center in Springfield said Monday that one patient remains in critical condition and the other two are in fair condition. All are expected to survive, but one woman is expected to have permanent neurological damage.

The three are women ranging in age from 18 to 34. They were among the most seriously wounded in the attack at Umpqua (UHMP’-kwah) Community College in Roseburg that left nine people and the gunman dead.

They were airlifted to the hospital about 70 miles north of Roseburg.
