The main story is a school shooting on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend. Early reports, which are still changing, say a 16-year-old Bend resident entered the school with a long gun and opened fire. Police said three children and a teacher were killed. A bystander shot the attacker, who also died. Bend-La Pine Schools canceled classes for Friday, and the FBI and ATF are assisting. Police have not said what motive, if any, the suspect had.
Early accounts differ on some details, including the number of injured, so I'd wait for statements from Bend Police or Deschutes County before relying on any single figure. Sources so far:
