At least four people have been killed, including three children, in a shooting at an elementary school in Oregon, part of the northwestern United States, according to statements from law enforcement to CBS and CNN.<\/p>\n

The shooting on Thursday took place at Silver Rail Elementary school in the city of Bend, about 160km (100 miles) southeast of Portland.<\/p>\n

Authorities have said the shooter is dead, though it is unclear whether he is among the four people included in the initial death toll.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in the process at this time of going room by room and evacuating each of the people who are in that school,\u201d said Sheila Miller, the communications manager for the Bend Police Department on Thursday. \u201cThis is the kind of thing we never want to see happen in Bend. It\u2019s devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller said authorities received a call about a shot fired into a car outside the school at 12:59pm local time (19:59 GMT) and arrived on scene within minutes.<\/p>\n

The suspect was shot and killed shortly after, though Miller said she did not know whether police or a bystander had subdued the alleged assailant.<\/p>\n

The number and condition of those injured were not immediately known.<\/p>\n

Kash Patel, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said in a post on social media that the agency was on the scene assisting local law enforcement in the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will make every resource they need available,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek also said she was closely monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n

Jeff Merkley, who represents Oregon in the US Senate, was among the political leaders to offer condolences in the wake of the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart is with the Bend community and all of the students and families affected. No one should have to fear violence at school,\u201d he wrote in a post on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
