"And they would stand up and he said, 'Good, because you're a Christian, you're going to see God in just about one second,'" Boylan's father, Stacy, told CNN, relaying her account.
"And then he shot and killed them," he said.
A gunman opened fire in the Oregon's Umpqua Community College which left 10 people killed on Thursday.
The gunman has been identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer who was also shot dead, reports said.
