Summary
Four people were killed at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, where police said a 16-year-old attacker entered the building around 13:00 before a bystander chased and shot him dead.
Three children aged 5, 8 and 11 and one teacher were killed, while a 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher were hospitalized with critical injuries.
Police said the first call came from someone reporting shots fired at their car; emergency calls then reported the suspect had gone into the school, and officers arrived three minutes later.
Bend closed schools citywide on Friday, with officials saying the community needed time to heal after the elementary school shooting.
