A 16-year-old fatally shot three students ages 5, 8 and 11 and one teacher at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, while wounding another student and a second teacher. Some accounts indicated a shotgun was used.

The attacker first fired at a driver outside, then shot door locks to get inside the campus that banned guns, triggering a lockdown. A legally armed resident who saw him enter chased him and shot him dead, ending the attack. The school sits in one of 25 Oregon districts that forbid staff to carry firearms, and no motive is known.
