Oregon College shaken by massacre reopens with counsellors, comfort dogs

USA: Students still shaken from the deadly mass shooting at an Oregon community college days ago were welcomed back to campus Monday by grief counsellors, comfort dogs and words of encouragement from faculty, but classes remained cancelled through the week.

The White House later in the day said President Barack Obama, who spoke out forcefully in favor of stricter gun control measures after the massacre, planned to visit Roseburg on Friday to meet privately with families of the victims.
