A 16-year-old suspect killed four at an Oregon elementary school before being shot dead by a community member, leaving five dead including himself.
The shooter entered Silver Rail Elementary School by firing through locked doors, killing three children and a teacher, and injuring two others. Police confirmed the suspect was shot dead by a community member after the shooter entered the school.
Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said the suspect used a long gun but did not disclose details about the weapon. The school was locked down after a call reported the shooter was being shot at, leading to a rapid response and the suspect's death.
The incident has reignited debates over gun control and school safety, with officials noting the recurring nature of mass shootings in the United States and the need for continued vigilance and training.
