One teacher was also killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two others are hospitalized and sustained \u201ccritical injuries,\u201d including a 7-year-old child and 54-year-old teacher. The families of the victims have all been notified, Krantz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A community member had fatally shot the suspect, a 16-year-old male, before police arrived at the school, Krantz said. He added that the assailant used a long gun but did not disclose any further details about the weapon, as police are still investigating the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police first responded to the report of an active shooter at 12:59 p.m. PDT and were on scene three minutes later, at 1:02 p.m. The suspect entered the school by shooting at locked doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bend Police said law enforcement evacuated each classroom and transported children to Journey Church for family reunification, around five minutes from Silver Rail Elementary School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement Thursday afternoon, Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Steven Cook extended sympathy to the families and those affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo words can adequately express the grief our community is experiencing,\u201d Cook said. \u201cOur immediate priorities are caring for our students and staff and assisting law enforcement and emergency responders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also giving remarks at Thursday\u2019s media conference were Bend Mayor Melanie Kebler and Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA school should be a safe place, where children can learn and be secure. What happened today should never happen,\u201d Kebler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kotek praised the law enforcement response and offered her support to the victims and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy daily prayers will be with this community,\u201d Kotek said. \u201cWith the children, with the parents and with the educators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All schools in the district will be canceled tomorrow in the wake of the shooting, Cook said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five people are dead, including the suspect, after an active shooting incident at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Ore., police confirmed at a media conference Thursday night.
