Shooting in Oregon school: 4 killed, aggressor stopped by teacher and father

A 16-year-old gunman killed three children and a teacher during a shooting at a special needs school in Bend, Oregon, on Thursday, October 15. The attacker, a former student at the school, fired approximately 15 shots and left 44 additional cartridges at the scene.

The victims included children aged 5, 8, and 11, and a 25-year-old teacher. A 7-year-old boy and a 54-year-old teacher were also wounded. According to Newsbook, the gunman shot at a school center and later fired at a window to enter a classroom.

A teacher attempted to stop the attacker by grabbing him, but both fell to the ground. During the struggle, a father of two students entered and shot the gunman with a legal pistol he had kept in his car. La Croix reported that Donald Trump described the father as a hero.
