Three children and a teacher killed in Oregon school shooting
A 16-year-old gunman killed three children—aged five, eight, and eleven—and a teacher at a primary school in Bend, Oregon, on Thursday. A seven-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher were also taken to hospital in critical condition following the attack at Silver Rail Elementary.
According to police, the unnamed attacker forced his way into the school at 12:59 local time by shooting through locked doors. A bystander who witnessed the shooting begin pursued the gunman into the building and shot him dead. Police officers arrived on the scene three minutes later.
The attack occurred despite recent security upgrades. Local media reported that the school had installed new classroom doors in 2022, which could be locked from the inside with the flip of a switch.
