Shooter kills teacher, three children at Oregon elementary school

An agonising wait for families trying to get information and find comfort after another fatal school shooting. My kid being in the fifth grade and being older, we won't see him until he's one of the last kids off the bus. They're doing youngest to oldest, which makes sense, but it's just more time waiting. A 16-year-old shooter forced his way into Silver Rail Elementary School by firing at locked doors with what police described as a long gun. He then opened fire. Officers at the scene located five people who had succumbed to their injuries, including the suspect. The deceased at the scene include three children, ages 5, 8, and 11, and one teacher. One 7-year-old child and one 54-year-old teacher were transported by Bend Fire to St. Charles Bend with critical injuries. An armed member of the public pursued the attacker into the school and killed him. Oregon Governor Tina Kotek thanked that person for their actions. And to the community member who heroically intervened to stop further loss of life, your actions carry a heavy emotional burden and I just want you to know that my thoughts are with you as well. Gun-related violence is frequent in the United States. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been more than 360 mass shootings in the US so far this year.
