Video - Larry Elder

A tragic shooting occurred at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, resulting in the deaths of three children aged 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher. Two others were critically injured. The suspect, a 16-year-old male who previously attended the school but was not currently enrolled, approached the school grounds, climbed over a fence, and entered a classroom where he fired approximately 15 rounds. A teacher bravely confronted the suspect and likely prevented further harm by tackling him and attempting to disarm him. The suspect was shot and killed by a bystander, Caleb Giamanco, a 36-year-old resident with two daughters at the school. The quick response by law enforcement, arriving within three minutes of the first 911 call, helped to mitigate the situation. The governor of Oregon commended Giamonko for his heroic actions. It is noteworthy that the school district does not allow teachers to carry weapons, classifying it as a gun-free zone.
