A 16-year-old suspect in the Silver Rail Elementary School shooting in Bend, Oregon, kills three students and a teacher, according to multiple reports. The Daily Mail and other outlets cite police statements and reporting from the Associated Press about how the attack begins.
The outlets agree the suspect uses a shotgun that his mother purchased. One report describes it as a pump-action shotgun and says it is involved before the shooting at the school. Other coverage also links the weapon to the suspect’s mother, framing it as part of the lead-up to the rampage.
While the specific sequence of events is described with some variation across outlets, all sources focus on the weapon’s origin and the resulting deaths at the elementary school. None of the provided excerpts offer differing numbers of victims beyond the three students and one teacher reported across coverage.
