4 Killed, Including 3 Children, in Oregon Elementary School Shooting; Suspect Also Dead

Police said the suspect was dead within minutes as at least two people were hospitalized and the FBI joined the investigation.

  • On Thursday, a 16-year-old gunman forced entry into Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, killing three children ages 5, 8, and 11, plus one teacher, before dying inside, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said.
  • Officers arrived at the campus at 1:02 p.m., minutes after dispatchers received reports of a shooter firing into a car outside the school. An armed community member who witnessed the suspect enter pursued him inside and shot him, authorities said.
  • Two additional victims—a seven-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher—remain hospitalized with critical injuries. The attack triggered an immediate facility-wide lockdown, with adjacent campuses also placed under precautionary lockdown.
  • Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Steven Cook canceled classes districtwide Friday, while police directed families to Journey Church at 61303 S Highway 97 for reunification with students evacuated by bus.
  • Oregon Governor Tina Kotek praised the community member's intervention, saying the bystander's actions carry "a heavy emotional burden." The shooting marks the 28th mass killing in the U.S. this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today.
