Shooter kills teacher, three children at Oregon elementary school
The 16-year-old suspect was shot dead by a member of the public who saw him enter the school with a weapon, pursued him inside and confronted him.
On Thursday, a teenager shot and killed three children and a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, before being killed by an armed bystander, police said. The victims were aged five, eight, and eleven, while another child and the teacher were critically injured. Bend police chief Mike Krantz stated that the shooter forced their way into the school by shooting at locked doors.
The US has a high rate of gun-related deaths compared to other developed nations. A candelight vigil was held in Drake Park for the victims. Bend-La Pine School District canceled Friday classes and activities due to the shooting. Gun safety advocates called for action on gun control, emphasizing that such incidents continue to happen despite decades of mass shootings.
