The bystander sprang into action just minutes after the police received their first report of a shooter with a long gun at Silver Rail Elementary School in the city of Bend, according to sources and police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first call placed to dispatchers indicated that a shot had been fired into a car near the school, police spokesperson Sheila Miller told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three kids \u2014 ages 5, 8 and 11 \u2014 and a teacher were gunned down by the teen, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not immediately known where the shooting unfolded, or whether the bystander was permitted to have a gun near the elementary school\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bend La Pines school district previously banned all people, including those with concealed handling licences, from carrying firearms on district property, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported in 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate provision of state law does allow lawfully possessed guns on school grounds if they are unloaded and locked in a vehicle, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local officials are expected to hold another press conference with additional details around 8:30 p.m. EST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
