  "account": "BEND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Governor Tina Kotek commended a local individual who took action during the mass shooting at an elementary school, stating that their intervention helped end the rampage and possibly saved lives. The 16-year-old assailant, a resident of Bend, was found deceased inside the school following the incident. Three children, aged 5, 8, and 11, perished, along with a teacher. Two others, a 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher, were critically injured and taken to a hospital. The shooter used a pump-action shotgun, which was purchased by his mother.",
