Story summary

On October 15, Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon was placed under lockdown after reports of an active shooter. The Bend Police Department responded and found the shooter dead upon arrival; at least four people were killed, including three children, with one teacher among the deceased. Authorities received a call about a shot fired into a car outside the school at 12:59 PM local time (19:59 GMT), and police arrived within minutes. The shooter was found dead almost immediately after opening fire. At least two people were transported to a hospital, but their conditions remain unclear. The community of Bend mourned the loss, with the Bend-La Pine Schools district honoring slain teacher Megan Lambert and praising staff member Becky Drury for her courageous response during the attack.
