ROSEBURG, Ore. — President Obama on Friday flew into this mill town buffeted by the mass shooting at a community college to give solace to grieving families, but politics and two more deadly shootings on college campuses threatened to intrude.

“I’ve got some very strong feelings about this because when you talk to these families, you’re reminded that this could be happening to your child, or your mom, or your dad, or your relative, or your friend,” said Mr. Obama, standing next to Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon and Mayor Larry Rich of Roseburg. “And so we’re going to have to come together as a country to see how we can prevent these issues from taking place.”

Several hundred people stood outside the gates of the Roseburg airport. Some held signs and American flags, but most just held cellphones to record the passage of the presidential motorcade — rarely seen in this hilly, green area.

Many of the signs proclaimed, “Welcome Obama,” but others were more pointed, and referred to his desire for more gun control. “Gun-free Zones Are for Sitting Ducks,” said one. Another: “Nothing Trumps Our Liberty.” And one said simply, “Obama is Wrong.”

The Obama administration is reconsidering some administrative actions to tighten control over gun sales, including one that would define anyone who sells many guns at gun shows or online as a commercial seller, requiring that they perform background checks on potential buyers before completing any transaction. The measure would at least partly close what is widely known as the “gun-show loophole.”

Last week, Christopher Harper-Mercer brought six guns and spare ammunition to Umpqua Community College here and systematically shot and killed nine people and injured nine others. Hours after the attack, a visibly angry Mr. Obama stood at the White House and delivered a blistering lecture on the dangers of guns and the need for legislative limits on them. He said that thoughts and prayers — the usual expressions of grief — were not enough in the face of such a massacre, and he promised to politicize the issue for the rest of his presidency.

And on Friday, two more college shootings — one at Northern Arizona University and another at Texas Southern University that together left two dead and four injured — provided him the opportunity to hammer home his points.

But in addition to being the nation’s most powerful politician, Mr. Obama is also its chief official mourner, so he had to seek a balance in a rural town where guns are popular.

The trip to Roseburg was added to Mr. Obama’s schedule on Monday and, in an obvious nod to local sentiment, the White House said his meetings with grieving families would be private.

No speech. No politics. Just shared grief.

It was part of a long process of evolution for the president, who has gradually put action over grief.

On Jan. 12, 2011, Mr. Obama spoke about the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords, Democrat of Arizona, and 17 others four days earlier and said that it was time “for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.”

HOUSTON — Two students were killed in separate shootings Friday on college campuses in Texas and Arizona, rattling the nerves of students, teachers and parents eight days after a rampage left 10 people dead at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.

Unlike the attack in Oregon and other mass shootings at colleges and schools in recent years, the two on Friday were not so-called active-shooter episodes, but instead appeared to stem from ordinary disputes and altercations that quickly turned violent.

Here in Houston, a shooting outside a student housing complex at Texas Southern University shortly before noon put the campus on lockdown and led administrators to cancel classes for the day. The motive was unknown, but one student was killed and another man wounded. Their names were not released.

The shooting appeared to be the fourth on or near the campus since August, and although officials said two people had been detained, the suspect believed to be the gunman remained at large.

Hours earlier, in Flagstaff, Ariz., a college freshman was taken into custody after he shot four people, killing one, near a residence hall at Northern Arizona University, officials said. Gregory T. Fowler, chief of the campus police department, said the student, Steven Jones, 18, opened fire after two groups of students were involved in a confrontation. The police took Mr. Jones into custody after he stopped firing and “everything calmed down for a few minutes,” Chief Fowler said.

Gun Control Explained

Frequently asked questions about gun policy and public opinion.

A student, Colin Brough, was killed, and the three wounded students were identified by the university as Nicholas Prato, Kyle Zientek and Nicholas Piring.

Security experts said it was hard to draw broad lessons from episodes like those on Friday, given the contradictory national trends of recent years. Gun sales have risen sharply, but the percentage of households with guns has not. Homicides over all are down, but mass shootings are up, though still uncommon.

“There’s a distinction, of course, between someone who just sets out to kill a large number of people and shootings that come out of altercations, which unfortunately do happen pretty regularly,” said S. Daniel Carter of the VTV Family Outreach Foundation, which was created by families of victims of the 2007 massacre at Virginia Tech. “They typically don’t get national coverage, except in the wake of something like what happened in Oregon.”

Whether campuses are more or less safe over all than they were years ago is unclear, said Mr. Carter, director of the foundation’s 32 National Campus Safety Initiative. Experts agree, however, that schools and law enforcement have become better at reacting to “active shooter” episodes. Police officers find and confront gunmen faster, and schools are quicker to send out emergency alerts, put campuses on lockdown and advise people to hunker down.

Officials at Texas Southern University called for a campuswide lockdown quickly, after it appeared that a possible suspect had escaped through the apartment complex. The shooting happened in the parking lot of the complex at Texas Southern, one of the largest historically black colleges in the country, with nearly 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The campus is in a section of Houston called the Third Ward, which struggles with poverty and crime.

Jodi Silva, a spokeswoman for the Houston Police Department, said it was too early to say whether the attack was connected to the other recent shootings at the university.

“We’re looking into all those aspects,” she said.

Overnight on Thursday, a shooting had occurred in the vicinity of the same housing complex, the Tierwester Oaks/University Courtyard apartments, and one man was treated at a hospital and released. On Tuesday evening, one person was shot during an argument on a campus thoroughfare called Tiger Walk.

And in late August, two people were shot after a man fired into a crowd near where the shooting on Friday took place. In that case, a university officer responding to a disturbance in the student-housing parking lot saw the man fire and told him to drop the gun, but the man turned toward the officer, the authorities said. The officer fired but missed, and the suspect, identified by the police as Darrius T. Nichols, 20, surrendered. Mr. Nichols was charged with murder after one of the two victims, LaKeytrick Quinn, 24, died. The second victim, a woman, was treated and released.

After four shootings in six weeks, two of them fatal, students were stunned and concerned by the violence. A group of them stood Friday outside a gate to the apartment complex, where police cars filled the edges of the crime scene.

“Instead of the conversations being, ‘I can’t believe this is happening,’ our conversations are, ‘What can we do to fix it?’ ” said Tyler Doggett, 21, a senior. “Texas Southern University has faced adversity before, and it’s nothing we can’t overcome as a family.”

University officials said the campus police department was increasing its presence and would continue to work closely with Houston-area law enforcement agencies.

The man who survived the shooting on Friday was transported to a hospital with two gunshot wounds to his upper torso. He was in stable condition.

The wounded students in Arizona were being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center. Chief Fowler would not confirm their conditions.

A statement on the university’s website said the shooting occurred just after 1 a.m. on the Flagstaff campus, which has about 20,000 students, 140 miles north of Phoenix. It took place near Mountain View Hall, which houses most of the school’s fraternities and sororities.

All four victims were members of Delta Chi, the fraternity’s executive director, Justin P. Sherman, said in an email. Mr. Jones, the gunman, was not a member of Delta Chi, and it was unclear whether he was part of the school’s Greek system.

An Instagram account bearing pictures that match Mr. Jones’s mug shot is laden with vulgar comments and shows a young man with an apparent interest in nice clothes, expensive cars, girls and guns. One photo shows him wearing clothing printed with the American flag and holding a firearm over his shoulder.

Arizona is an open-carry state whose voters have been strongly opposed to gun control measures in the past. But Northern Arizona University generally prohibits weapons, with a few exceptions: Guns are allowed in vehicles, for example, if they are stowed.

Politicians in Arizona quickly released statements about the shooting but did not approach the topic of gun control. “All Arizonans have the #Flagstaff community in their hearts today,” Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, wrote on Twitter.

Reporting was contributed by Richard Pérez-Peña, Katie Rogers and Liam Stack from New York.

FLAGSTAFF (Arizona) — Officials said one person is dead and three others are wounded following an early morning shooting at Northern Arizona University

School public relations director Cindy Brown said the suspected shooter is in custody.

She said the first police call about the gunfire came in at 1.20am PDT (4.20pm, Singapore time) today (Oct 9).

The shooting occurred in a parking lot outside Mountainview Hall dormitory at the north-east side of the Flagstgaff campus.

Ms Brown said she doesn’t know what caused the shooting and also didn’t have any details about the suspect and victims, their conditions and whether they are students.

The university said in a posting on its Twitter account that the situation on campus was stabilised and the campus was not on lockdown.
