A 16-year-old suspect killed four people at an Oregon elementary school, including three children and a teacher. The suspect was fatally shot by a bystander before police arrived. The incident has prompted a separate legal action by the Department of Justice against California over alleged noncitizen voters.
The suspect, identified as Griffin J John II, was a former student at the school and had been armed with a shotgun. He fired multiple rounds in a classroom, killing two children and a teacher. A father of two girls at the school intervened and shot the suspect multiple times, according to police.
The Department of Justice is suing California over alleged noncitizen voters, a separate development from the school shooting. The lawsuit is part of a broader investigation into voter registration practices in the state.
The suspect's identity and motive remain under investigation, with police still seeking to determine how he acquired the gun and his exact movements at the school.
