LOS ANGELES – Three children and one teacher were shot dead at an elementary school Thursday in the northwestern U.S. state of Oregon, police said, adding that the assailant was a 16-year-old who was killed by an armed bystander.
Another child and a teacher were being treated for critical injuries after the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary school in Bend, a city of about 100,000 people.
Mike Krantz, police chief of Bend, told journalists that the department first learned of an active shooter after a call from a person who reported being shot at multiple times by a person carrying a long gun.
