Police have not said whether the suspect had any links to Silver Rail Elementary (Picture: REUTERS) Police have yet to publicly identify him, but confirmed he is a local Bend resident. It is not publicly known whether he had previously attended the school or knew anyone there. Officials have been tight-lipped about how the gunman got hold of the firearm, believed to be a long firearm, as an investigation continues. In Oregon state, people have to be 18 or older to buy rifles and shotguns, and 21 for handguns. But legal loopholes exist, and minors can possess non-handgun firearms for activities like hunting or practice if they have parental consent. Gun violence and firearms are considered the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in the US, and thousands of people die in firearm-related incidents every year. So far in 2026, a total of 361 people have been killed and 1,553 people have been hurt across 365 mass shootings in the country. Got a story?

The 16-year-old suspect was fatally shot by an armed bystander, police said

Three children and a teacher were killed in a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon.

A 16-year-old shooter opened fire on Thursday at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, killing four people including three children, before being killed by an armed member of the community who had pursued the assailant into the school, police said. The shooter entered Silver Rail Elementary School by firing through locked doors, police said, without offering any details beyond the suspect’s age. The dead were children aged 5, 8 and 11 and one teacher. In addition, a 7-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher were taken to hospital with critical injuries, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz told a press conference. Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, appearing at the same briefing, thanked the community member who “heroically intervened to stop further loss of life.” “No parent should have to have this kind of day, and no community should have to live through this kind of day. And as we learn more about the children and the adults who have been killed or injured, and their families and their loved ones, we are going to do a lot of crying, and we are going to cry together, and we’re probably going to cry privately,” Kotek said. Krantz said the community member, whom he did not identify, saw the suspect enter the school and pursued him. School shootings have become a recurring feature of American life, including high-profile attacks such as those at Columbine High School in 1999, Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018, and Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in 2022. Each shooting revives debates over gun laws in a country where gun rights are protected under the Constitution’s second amendment. Gun rights advocates have argued for arming teachers as a means of defence. Police trained for mass shooting Krantz said every Bend police officer went through a full day of active shooter training in August. “Unfortunately, this is something we train for on a regular basis, and we must,” Krantz said. “This is going to be a long investigation.” Thursday’s shooting took place in Bend, a city of about 100,000 people in rural central Oregon, 175 miles (280 km) southeast of Portland, in the Oregon high desert adjacent to the Deschutes National Forest. Silver Rail Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth grade, roughly ages 5 to 11, and has about 450 students and 40 staff members, officials said. Gun control advocate Gabrielle Giffords, a former congresswoman who survived a mass shooting in 2011, said in a statement she was “heartbroken” by the shooting in Bend. “This cannot continue to be a reality in our country. Leaders at every level must step up and act,” Giffords said. Emergency responders received a call at 12:59 p.m. PDT (1959 GMT) from a person in a vehicle who reported being shot at multiple times by someone with a long gun, Krantz said. In the minutes afterwards, dozens of calls were received saying the shooter had entered the school, Krantz said. Law enforcement immediately directed the school to go into lockdown, he said. Officers arrived at 1:02 pm and moments later an officer reported the suspect had been shot, Krantz said. Police entered and confirmed the suspect was dead, he said.
