A shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, on Friday left five people dead, including three children, according to The Source, a Bend news outlet. Police responded to reports of an active shooter at the school.
CNN reports that a father and a teacher are being praised for preventing further tragedy. The New York Times identifies the bystander who killed the teenage shooter as a parent of two students at the school. KGW also reports on the bystander who shot the teen gunman.
CBS News reports, citing sources, that the shooter has been identified and used a shotgun purchased by his mother.
The accounts differ in emphasis but agree on the central sequence: a gunman opened fire at the elementary school, and a parent on the scene confronted and killed him. Authorities have not released a full timeline of the response.
The shooting has drawn attention to the role of bystanders in active-shooter situations, though officials have not yet detailed how the parent was able to intervene or how quickly police arrived. The names of the victims have not been released in the material available.
What to watch next: police briefings and any updates from Bend-La Pine Schools on the investigation and on how the school community will respond.
