He shot and killed nine people, before killing himself. The shooting is the deadliest in the history of the state of Oregon.

Harper-Mercer's motive for the shooting is unclear. According to the ADL, "The issue most often raised about the shootings is whether they constitute an anti-Christian or anti-religious hate crime." By some accounts, the shooter asked his victims about their religion before killing them, but others point out that his rage was not limited to religious matters and stress his mental health history. The report that the shooter asked victims about their religion before killing them comes from a survivor, as well as family members of the victims, but no online evidence of anti-Christian rhetoric was found.
