Police in Bend, Oregon are responding to a report of an active shooter at Silver Rail Elementary School on Thursday afternoon.
A large police presence has been reported at the school, officers said in a post to X, adding that people should please avoid the area.
In an update to media, Sheila Miller, communications manager for Bend Police, said around 1 p.m. local time police received multiple 911 calls about an active shooter in the school. Miller said that there are “multiple victims” and the shooter was shot and killed, potentially by a bystander. Two people have been transported to a local hospital, and their status is currently unknown.
Jesus, again.
And it’s always a freaking school full of children.
A lot of times it ends up being former students. I don’t know if that makes it worse or not.
Nope. Doesn’t help at all.

There has been a shadow update on 'transporting to hospital and what that means. Now it allows the patient to be called deceased at the hospital not at the scene.
So I really hope everyone pulls through and I hope that it isn’t another transport to be called time of death. So sick of this shit.
I’m seeing some outlets report children have been killed.
Heartbroken.
Fucking fuck.
So was the shooter another kid or a teacher or what?
Police received a call about a man shooting into a car just before 1 p.m. local time, Miller said. About a minute later, multiple 911 calls came in saying that person had entered the school and started shooting, police said in a statement.
Police arrived within 3 minutes and quickly reported that the shooter was dead. Miller said it was not clear who shot and killed the suspect, saying it “may have been a bystander.” Sources told CBS News the shooter was believed to be a teenager who was killed by a good Samaritan.
Maybe a teenager. This is from CBS.
If you think this feels bad now, wait for the incessant “good guy with a gun” word vomit from the Republicans that is guaranteed to happen now.
I’m glad they were there, but I’d rather no “active shooter” incidents to begin with.
Update:
The attacker used a pump-action shotgun that was purchased by his mother, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the shooting. The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.
Don’t buy your children guns, what the actual fuck.
There’s no way that was all she contributed. 🤢
Shot up a special needs elementary school class room with a shotgun that is so deranged.
Apathy is killing the world. Events like these should be ringing alarm bells and driving people to come together and decide how they’re going to address the problem.
