Hi, John.
The sun's coming up and now we're seeing the actual school in front
of us where there are police tape all around it, around the playground.
flowers in front of the sign leading into the school.
Classes across the school district
are canceled today after this deadly attack.
Last night, the community came together to mourn the people
who were killed in that
shooting, but also the attack on the neighborhood as a whole,
saying prayers together.
We do know the ages of the children
who were killed, five, eight and 11.
The teacher, we do not know their age yet.
And there is still two people,
a seven year old and a 54 year old teacher that are in
critical condition at the hospital.
No community should have to do what we're doing right now.
I don't have any words for what this community is feeling right now
and I don't think anyone does.
We are heartbroken. We are horrified.
This is the kind of thing you hear about in other places and
pray that it never happens here and it has happened here.
Bend police say the first 911
call came around one o'clock Thursday
from someone outside Silver Rail Elementary School
saying that someone with a long gun was shooting at them.
More calls followed from inside the school.
Police arrived minutes later.
There they found a suspect, 16-year-old Ben Resident, dead inside.
They say the attacker shot
at the locked doors to get into the building.
Then a bystander saw the suspect go into the school, followed him,
then shot and killed him shortly before authorities arrived.
Yesterday, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek thanked the Good Samaritan
who stopped the attack.
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. Federal authorities telling Fox
that the shooter was carrying a shotgun.
Now we don't know any connection that they might have
had to the school. We do expect to hear more information
from law enforcement this afternoon.
John.
