Oregon school shooting: Officials identify shooter
During a Friday afternoon press briefing, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz disclosed that the 16-year-old gunman fired up to 15 rounds from a Maverick 88 pump-action 12-gauge shotgun inside a single special-education classroom during Thursday's deadly assault at Silver Rail Elementary School. The suspect, publicly identified by authorities as former student Griffin J. John II, bypassed front-door security by jumping a perimeter fence and shooting his way through a side entrance. Law enforcement officials confirmed the weapon used was registered to his mother and revealed that 44 unfired rounds consisting of birdshot, buckshot, and slugs were recovered at the scene. While a definitive motive has yet to be established, Krantz detailed the heroic actions of an unnamed school teacher who initially slowed the attack by physically tackling the suspect before armed bystander Kaylub Giamanco.
