Umpqua survivor tells CNN religion not a factor. No mention on Fox News story

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/04/us/oregon-umpqua-community-college-shooting/index.html

See this section of the story:
Survivor says religion not a factor
Hue also said the gunman asked about religion. But she said it didn't seem to matter, because he shot some people even before he asked.

Fox News version of the same story.

Apparently, he told some of those who professed Christianity that he'd be "seeing them soon," implying he was also Christian (and believed he'd be forgiven in the afterlife, one assumes).

How many leg wounds are among the survivors? Were they asked about religion? How did they answer?

Unless the facts are at least several, yes, and anything but Christian, then the glurge is, as usual, made up lies that show some people don't take their supposed commandments all that seriously.
