  "account": "On Thursday, a 16-year-old opened fire at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, resulting in the deaths of three children and a teacher. The shooter was subsequently shot and killed by someone at the scene, according to Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz. The three children who were killed were aged 5, 8, and 11, while another child, 7, and the teacher, 54, sustained life-threatening injuries and were hospitalized in critical condition. The shooting occurred around 1 p.m., with the first 911 call being made by a person in a vehicle outside the school, reporting a shooting incident involving a long gun. Subsequent 911 calls were made from inside the school, prompting officers to arrive on the scene within minutes. The attacker, a resident of Bend, was found dead inside the school shortly after officers arrived.",
