An Oregon resident who intervened to stop a 16-year-old gunman after he fatally shot four people at a Bend elementary school has been identified as the father of two students at the school.
The Thursday attack at Silver Rail Elementary left three children — ages 5, 8 and 11 — and one teacher dead. A 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher were taken to a local hospital in critical condition. The shooter, who is believed to have used a shotgun purchased by his mother, also died.
