Teacher injured in shooting at Oregon elementary school says she played dead after being shot
Becky Drury says she was shot before she could protect students as investigators probe how the 16-year-old suspect got the shotgun.
- On October 21, teacher Becky Drury stated she could not shelter students during the October 15 shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, because the gunman shot her immediately when she tried to shut the classroom door.
- A 16-year-old former student, Griffin, killed three children—ages 5, 8, and 11—and a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary on October 15 after blasting through locked doors with a shotgun.
- Drury, who remains hospitalized, corrected reports that she shielded a student, noting she was shot at close range and fell to the ground with her left hand nearly severed.
- Schools in the district reopened on October 21 for the first time since the shooting, with dozens of Bend Police Department officers present at each campus to welcome returning children.
- Authorities continue investigating the attack, serving search warrants at Griffin's home and examining his electronic devices and social media accounts to understand how he obtained the weapon.
