UPDATE: 3 Children And 1 Adult Killed In Oregon Elementary School Shooting

Three children and an adult were killed in a shooting at an Oregon elementary school Thursday, and the suspected gunman is also dead, possibly shot by a bystander.

Federal law enforcement sources confirmed the four victims’ deaths to Fox News, while Bend police said they were investigating whether a bystander killed the shooter inside Silver Rail Elementary School.

Officers were going room by room to evacuate Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend as authorities worked to determine who shot and killed the suspect.

“We don’t have confirmation yet who shot the suspect. It may have been a bystander,” Sheila Miller, Bend Police Department’s communications manager said during a news briefing.

Bend Fire medics transported at least two people to St. Charles, but their conditions were not immediately known.

The school serves approximately 400 to 450 students and has more than 40 staff members, officials said. It was not immediately clear how many were on campus during the shooting.
