In another devastating shooting incident involving schools, a 16-year-old shot at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, claiming the lives of three young kids aged 5, 8 and 11, as well as a teacher, reported NBC News. The assailant, who was named as Griffin J. John II, also died in the shooting, as did two others. However, the incident has sparked interest in the young killer’s past after it came to light that he had been involved in several controversies and conflicts through court files.
As investigators work to establish how the shooting unfolded and what motivated it, reporting based on court records has raised questions about the circumstances in which John grew up and how he obtained the shotgun used in the attack.
