An elementary school shooting in Bend, Oregon has left at least five people dead, according to law enforcement officials. The death toll is still being determined and may change. The suspected shooter, believed to be 15 or 16 years old, was killed during the incident. Bend police spokesperson Sheila Miller confirmed the suspect's death but noted that it is unclear if the victim was included in the five fatalities.

Multiple victims were identified as children, with Miller stating, "We don't have a number at this point. We know children are among the victims." Police were alerted to shots fired into a car outside the school at 12:59 p.m. and arrived on the scene quickly. Subsequent 911 calls were made from inside the school. The attacker was reportedly shot by law enforcement within the building shortly after their arrival.
