A 16-year-old shot his way into Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon, killing three children — ages 5, 8 and 11 — and a teacher. A 7-year-old and a 54-year-old teacher were hospitalized in critical condition. Police said a community member who saw the teen enter the building pursued and confronted him, and the shooter was fatally shot. Gov. Tina Kotek praised the bystander who "heroically intervened to stop further loss of life," and the FBI is assisting the investigation.

The livestream plan had drawn bipartisan criticism, including from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who warned footage could become "a recruiting tool for future terrorists." The Pentagon said Hegseth supports the decision.
