A teacher in Bend, Oregon, is identified by family as Megan/Meghan Lambert, 25, who is killed during a school shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School. Police say a 16-year-old student, identified as Griffin John II, opens fire in a classroom on Thursday afternoon, where Lambert was teaching.
Reports from multiple outlets say Lambert is killed along with three children, and that the attack results in four total deaths at the scene. The New York Times and The Oregonian both describe Lambert as working in what her family calls her “dream job,” and note she is closely connected to the local community, including having graduated from a local high school before returning to teach in the district. Other outlets similarly characterize her role in the school and community, while focusing on the circumstances of the identification and family tributes.
