Two people critical in hospital as officials in Bend say 16-year-old suspect shot dead by bystander

A 16-year-old shooter opened fire at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, on Thursday, killing three children and a teacher before he was shot dead by a community member, authorities said at an evening news conference.

The dead children at Silver Rail elementary school were aged five, eight and 11, officials said.

A seven-year-old and a 54-year-old were also hospitalized with critical injuries, according to police.

    No state can reasonable restrict guns. They’re too easy to get anyway

    Kind of like how the whole country is strict on felons owning guns, but they all have them anyway

    The US needs federal gun reform to stop this, but we’ve decided dead children are worth it to have largely unrestrained gun ownership

      That doesn’t even help us when we find ourselves in the literal situation the founding fathers gave us the right for.
