A 16-year-old opened fire at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, in the United States, on Thursday, killing three children and a teacher before he was shot by a person at the scene who pursued him into the school.
The three children killed were aged 5, 8 and 11.
Authorities found the suspect dead inside the school minutes after the shooting was first reported.
Another child, 7, and a teacher, 54, were injured and taken to a hospital in critical condition.
