Zackary Cooper, a 22-year-old full-time firefighter for the city, was arrested at 7 a.m. at the Rhome Fire Station by Department of Public Safety investigators, according to Fire Chief W. Scott Estes.

He was booked into the Wise County Jail and posted a $20,000 bond before being released.

Cooper was put on administrative leave that same day and then terminated, Estes said.

"Rhome Fire Rescue holds its personnel to high standards of professionalism, integrity, and public trust," Estes said.  "We remain committed to serving and protecting our community and maintaining the confidence that our citizens place in our department."

CBS News Texas reached out to a DPS spokesman for more information on the investigation, but had not heard back by late Friday.

Online court records did not list an attorney for Cooper.  

"We ask the public to allow the investigative and judicial processes to proceed without speculation," Estes said.

CBS News Texas will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Police said Giamanco pursued and fatally shot the 16-year-old attacker, ending a rampage that took the lives of three children and a teacher and wounded two others. 

A statement released by Giamanco's family on Friday said, "He is not seeking recognition, but instead wishes to express his gratitude to the first responders, school personnel, and community for the outpouring of love and support." 

"The tragedy at Silver Rail Elementary has devastated the Bend community," they wrote.

Giamanco and his family asked for privacy and said they will not be giving interviews. 

Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz credited him and a teacher at the school for actions that saved other lives.

"In addition to the 36-year-old man who bravely stepped in to stop the suspect, I want to highlight another person whose heroic action we need to recognize: a teacher in the classroom threw her cellphone at the suspect and then tackled him and fought to take the firearm from him. She was not injured in that incident, but she almost certainly helped prevent more bloodshed," he said.

President Trump on Friday called the Giamanco a "great hero" who "took care of business."

"Thank God we had him; otherwise, it would have been much worse," Mr. Trump said, adding: "It's a terrible thing, but thank goodness for a man that had a gun and knew how to use it."

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek also praised the bystander who "heroically intervened to stop further loss of life," saying the person's actions carry "a heavy emotional burden."

Krantz said the shooter entered the school by shooting out the glass on locked doors. He was then pursued by the bystander, who shot and killed him, Krantz said. 

When police arrived minutes later, Krantz says they found the deceased shooter and four victims — three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, and a 25-year-old teacher — inside the school. Two other victims, a student and a teacher, were hospitalized with critical injuries. 

At Friday's briefing, Krantz said the gunman has been identified as Griffin J. John II. He used a shotgun purchased by his mother, law enforcement sources told CBS News. The suspect was from Bend and had previously attended the school, police said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses charter and commercial flights to deport immigrants and move detainees between detention centers around the country. Activists who have protested those flights for months said the operations at Love Field have now moved to Fort Worth.

Videos taken by activists and shared with CBS News Texas show men, women, and children being loaded onto planes at Love Field, some of them shackled at the hands and feet. They're all undocumented immigrants, being deported by ICE.

"It's horror in plain sight," said Lanie Olmo, an activist with No Love for ICE Air.

Since March, No Love for ICE Air has been monitoring ICE charter flights landing and departing at the airport. The group said they have monitored 215 ICE flights in 2026. Activists said they have witnessed at least 2,606 people being shuffled between detention facilities inside the United States across 46 flights, and another 1,166 people being deported to Mexico across 12 separate flights. Now, they're celebrating the end of these flights at Love Field after months of pushback.

"It feels like a modern-day slave ship when you see somebody with their wrists, waist, and ankles, shackled," said John Putnam, a flight tracker with the group. "It has not operated out of Love Field for over two weeks and has fully moved operations to Perot Fort Worth Alliance Airport."

Dallas officials confirmed the flights ended this month. Lauren Rounds, a Love Field spokesperson, said Signature Aviation, the private operator that handled the flights, told the city that "the flights would end October 1," adding that no other operator has reported handling ICE-related flights at the airport. ICE officials shared a similar message, saying ICE charter flights out of Love Field have stopped for now, but said other operations, like detainee transfers, could still happen on an "as-needed basis." But neither the city nor ICE would say why the change was made.

"We believe this is a permanent operational change," Putnam said.

ICE also confirmed to CBS News Texas that its charter flights have moved to Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport, but Fort Worth officials would not confirm or deny that. Sana Syed, a City of Fort Worth spokesperson, said the city's airport supports a variety of aviation operations, including federal government agencies, and that federal use does not require the city's permission. CBS News Texas contacted Signature Aviation for comment, but the company did not return our request.

Putnam and Olmo said the group continues monitoring what's happening in the skies.

"We are ready in close partnership with Tarrant County organizers who are ready and prepped to bring the same public attention to whatever ICE does in Fort Worth," said Olmo.

Authorities said he was shot and killed by a bystander at the school. The suspect was a former student of Silver Rail Elementary, police said. 

The attacker used a shotgun purchased by his mother, law enforcement sources told CBS News. Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said Friday that a Maverick 88 pump-action 12-gauge shotgun was located near the suspect, as well as a backpack. Krantz said that three types of ammunition were used in the shooting: birdshot, buckshot and slugs.

The suspect fired as many as 15 rounds during the shooting, Krantz said Friday, and another 44 remaining rounds of ammunition were located at the scene. 

A motive for the attack has not been provided. Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Steven Cook said in Friday's news conference that the classroom where the shooting occurred was a special needs classroom, and he disclosed that the suspect had been a special needs student at that school.

In 2020, the suspect's mother, Shauntai Nickerson, spoke to a local television station about her then-10-year-old son, who she said had special needs and struggled to learn from home during the pandemic.

Krantz said the suspect approached the fence of the school on foot, threw the shotgun over the fence, and then climbed it himself.

When he was confronted by a man who was passing in a pickup truck, he fired on the truck, striking it at least three times, Krantz said. That driver then drove on and made the initial 911 call.

It was at that time that the bystander who would later kill the suspect, a 36-year-old man whose children attend the school, witnessed that shooting and drove into the school parking lot.

Krantz said that the suspect forced his way into the school by firing several rounds into the glass panes of a set of double doors. He then went directly into the classroom immediately to the left of those doors, where he opened fire.

"All of the victims were shot in that classroom," Krantz said. 

Krantz told reporters Friday that the bystander, who was identified by his family as Kaylub Giamanco, took from his vehicle a .40-caliber pistol which he legally owned, and entered the school and classroom where the shooting was taking place.

"As he made entry through the forced open doors, he heard shooting and saw a teacher involved in a physical altercation with the suspect," Krantz said. "He then went to the classroom where the struggle was underway and fired his weapon, striking the suspect multiple times."

Krantz also praised the "heroic actions" of the teacher who engaged the suspect in the physical struggle, saying she "threw her cellphone at the suspect and then tackled him and fought to take the firearm from him."

That teacher, who was not hurt, "almost certainly helped prevent more bloodshed," Krantz said. 

Law enforcement sources told CBS News that investigators are combing through his computer, phone, social media, search history and other online activity. They are probing whether the shooter may have been obsessed with violence, including prior mass shootings. The sources emphasized that the investigators are in the preliminary stages of their investigation. 

The children killed in the shooting were ages 5, 8 and 11, Krantz said. The 5-year-old victim was identified by police and her family as Rhoam Summer. Bend police identified the 25-year-old teacher killed as Meghan Lambert. The families of the two other children have not made their names public, Bend police said. 

Two others — a 7-year-old girl and a 54-year-old teacher — were wounded. The 7-year-old girl was being treated at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, where she was in serious but stable condition, Krantz said Friday. The 54-year-old teacher suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, Krantz said. She was being treated at St. Charles Medical Center. Their names were not released. 

The family of Giamanco, a Bend resident with two daughters who attend Silver Rail Elementary School, issued a statement Friday, in which they said Giamanco "is not seeking recognition, but instead wishes to express his gratitude to the first responders, school personnel, and community for the outpouring of love and support."

Police said they responded within minutes to the 911 calls from the school and found the deceased shooter and other victims inside.

Kelik Summer posted to a Facebook group Thursday night that it was "the worst day of my life. My son Rhoam was killed in a school shooting. We are broken and lost, but are surrounded by friends and family who are keeping us safe."

"Meghan was compassionate and had a huge heart," Lambert's family said in a statement that was read during a news conference Friday. "She always fought for the underdog and those with special needs. She was an incredible sister, daughter, niece and granddaughter. Her friends became her family. She was funny and opinionated, and she lit up the room."

Two other children — ages 8 and 11 — were also killed in the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School. The families of those two children have not made their names public, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said Friday.

A 7-year-old girl and a 54-year-old teacher were wounded. The 7-year-old girl was being treated at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, where she was in serious but stable condition, Krantz said, while the 54-year-old teacher suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was being treated at St. Charles Medical Center. Their names were not released.

The suspect was identified by Krantz as 16-year-old Griffin J. John II, who was shot and killed at the scene by a bystander. 

Officials said the gunman was a former student at Silver Rail. Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Steven Cook said in Friday's news conference that the classroom where the shooting occurred was a special needs classroom, and he disclosed that the suspect had been a special needs student at that school.

The family of Kaylub Giamanco, who came forward as the man who shot and killed the suspect, said in a statement on Friday that he is "not seeking recognition" and instead expressed "his gratitude to the first responders, school personnel, and community for the outpouring of love and support." His two daughters attend Silver Rail Elementary School.

Police also praised a teacher who "threw her cellphone at the suspect and then tackled him and fought to take the firearm from him," Krantz said. "She was not injured in that incident, but she almost certainly helped prevent more bloodshed."

Memorials with flowers, balloons and stuffed animals popped up around the school, which sits in a neighborhood filled with newly built homes.

Bend, which has about 100,000 residents, is the biggest city in central Oregon. Ringed by mountains, it has grown in population over the past three decades and is a tourism and outdoor recreation hub, about 125 miles southeast of Portland.

Two flight attendants reported injuries during the flight, and one was taken to the hospital after the incident, according to the Port Authority Police Department. One of the flight attendants was bitten and the other sustained a laceration, according to a law enforcement source.

Her attorney said Blair experienced a "medical emergency" on the plane, but did not get into specifics. Blair has been outspoken about her struggle with multiple sclerosis.

The incident happened at 11 p.m. on Delta Air Lines Flight 938. The flight crew needed to restrain Blair, a law enforcement source said. 

On air traffic control audio, the pilot could be heard calling for medical personnel to come to the plane. 

"Ah, a bloody nose as well as some bite marks as well, so I don't think we need an ambulance or anything like that but if we could get some medical personnel at the gate, to look at their injuries," the pilot said in audio captured on ATC.com. "It sounds like the disruptive passenger also bashed her head on the bulkhead or something like that, so we'll obviously have to get her potentially checked out as well as well as law enforcement."

Sources told CBS News the incident started off as an argument between passengers, which then escalated into a melee. Flight attendants intervened. 

Port Authority Police were called to the plane, along with the FBI. Blair was transported to Jamaica Hospital for evaluation after the incident. While in the ambulance, she allegedly kicked a PAPD officer, and once at the hospital, she allegedly assaulted a nurse, prosecutors said.

Blair was later released from the hospital and taken to Queens Central Booking. She was then arraigned on two counts of second-degree assault at a court in Queens, where she pleaded not guilty. A judge set her bail at $20,000 cash or $60,000 bond and set the next hearing for Jan. 19.

The assault charges are state charges related to the alleged incidents in the ambulance and hospital.

A publicist for Blair released the following statement on Oct. 16:

"Since Sunday night, the public account of what happened to Selma aboard a flight to New York has been built almost entirely on a police statement and a decade-old headline. A handful of journalists have taken the time to report on Selma as a human being rather than a headline, and we are grateful to them. But fair reporting has been the exception, and in the space left by our silence, speculation has hardened into something being treated as fact. We can, however, correct the record on a few points already in public circulation. Selma Blair experienced a medical emergency on the flight. There was no attempt to open the door of the aircraft. Selma did not intend to harm anyone. The suggestion by anyone, that Selma does not have multiple sclerosis is outrageous. Her diagnosis has been public since 2018. What Selma has been able to do physically in the years since is nothing short of a miracle. She still has bad days, and she lives with pain daily. Selma also has pseudobulbar affect, a neurological condition secondary to her MS, which bears directly on how a medical episode presents to people who do not know her. For the same reason, she travels with a service dog who doesn't leave her side, and the authorities took her dog from her. It should be noted Selma has worked on seven film and television projects in 2026 alone, only a couple of which have been announced. She has launched a skin care line, a clothing line, and a line of eye-glass readers, each built around the idea of beauty and utility for people whose bodies do not always cooperate. She remains a visible and relentless advocate for disability rights, for the MS community, and this year for the Jewish community in the face of rising antisemitism, including from the stage of the ADL's State of the Arts event at The Jewish Museum two weeks ago. Selma had never been arrested before Sunday night. There is much more to this story than has been reported, and we ask to consider the entirety of the facts before rushing to judgment, whether in the courtroom or in the court of public opinion."

This isn't the first time Blair has been removed from a flight. Back in 2016, she was removed by stretcher after an episode on another Delta flight. As for what allegedly happened on Sunday night, the FBI gave her a summons for assaults within special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, a federal law enforcement source said.

No date has been set for the federal case against her.

"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," the airline said in a statement.   

Blair was traveling with her service dog, which is now in the custody of her attorney.

Blair has been outspoken about her struggle with multiple sclerosis. In 2025, she gave an interview to People magazine and Travel & Leisure talking about the difficulties she had traveling. In her 2022 memoir, she also has a chapter called "Bite Me," where she wrote about past instances where she bit other celebrities while drinking.

Blair has appeared in such films as "Cruel Intentions," "Legally Blonde," and "Hellboy," among others. In 2022, she was a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars." 

Editor's note: The story has been updated to reflect new information about what happened leading up to and during the altercation on board the flight and include a statement from Blair's publicist.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite tumbled 573 points, or 2.1%, to end at 26,140, closing out its worst week since June. The broader S&P 500 and blue-chip Dow Industrial Average sank 1.1% and 0.3%, respectively.

Chipmakers and other tech companies have been under pressure this week as investors worry about the heavy borrowing associated with the emergence of AI and the rapid buildout of thousands of data centers required to provide computing power for AI models.

So-called neocloud companies like CoreWeave, which provide the brute computing power AI models need to function, were particularly hard hit. That's because they are financing much of their capital expenditures through debt and equity issuance rather than cash flow, raising investor concerns about mounting debt, market analyst Adam Crisafulli, head of Vital Knowledge, told CBS News.

Shares of CoreWeave slid nearly 12% on Friday and dropped roughly 24% this week as investors nervously eye its mounting debt. Micron Technology fell 5.6%, Advanced Micro Devices dropped 6%, Broadcom was down 4.5% and Intel lost 5.8%.

Elsewhere on Wall Street, Tesla shares fell 2.1% after the electric vehicle company unveiled a new Roadster sports car that appears capable of thrusting itself into the air.

The downturn on Friday came amid concern about whether the AI company Anthropic, soon set to go public, will be able to maintain its revenue momentum, Crisafulli said in a note to investors. Anthropic investors are now considering valuing the company at $1.5 trillion, down from the original target of $2 trillion, Reuters reported on Thursday.

Inflation moving in wrong direction

Also rattling investors this week were fresh signs that U.S. inflation is increasing and moving further away from the Federal Reserve's 2% annual target.

Yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds — a key benchmark for mortgages, credit cards and other loans — held steady at 5.1% on Friday. Earlier this month, bond yields surged to their highest level in more than two decades amid concerns over inflation and rising U.S. government debt.

The hot inflation readings this week could spur the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at its next meeting on Oct. 28-29, according to some economists. For now, most Wall Street traders expect the central bank to keep its short-term rate unchanged, but the odds of a rate hike at the Fed's December meeting have jumped to 74.3% from 50.2% a month ago, according to CME FedWatch, which tracks Fed funds futures prices.

On Friday, Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh offered no hints about potential interest rate policy moves while attending a meeting of financial leaders in Bangkok. The Fed hiked rates at its last meeting in September, bringing the federal funds rate to between 3.75% and 4% — its highest level since December 2025.

Technical and regulatory challenges have so far prevented the much-hyped flying car sector from getting off the ground.

Musk revealed Tesla's new Roadster sports car during a launch event at a SpaceX test facility in Texas.

During the demo, which was livestreamed on Tesla's X account, the car launched from a ramp that curled over so the vehicle was upside down, appearing to defy gravity by clinging to the surface before flying off the end, and then rolled over 180 degrees midair to land on its wheels.

"Flying cars are real," Musk said during the event, adding that the vehicle's "success is not guaranteed" but "it will probably work."

Musk said the car was equipped with "ultra high-pressure air tanks" to propel itself into the air.

The tech billionaire described the development as "what happens when you have a collaboration with the world's best car company and the world's best rocket company," referring to Tesla and SpaceX.

The vehicle would go into production in 2028, he said. Prices were not announced.

Tesla's website notes that the planned flying model is not approved for public road use.

Would-be buyers can place a reservation online, with a $5,000 deposit, for a non-flying model of the Roadster. A limited-edition Thrust model is also promised online but cannot be reserved. Tesla's website says the Rocket model, with its "full flight system," will be offered by invitation only.

"The Roadster will not move the volume or revenue needle, with production likely limited, and investors should not model it as a growth driver," Wall Street analyst Dan Ives of Yorkville Ives said in a research note. "What it does is restore the brand halo at the top of the market and put a spotlight on the engineering stack a week before the FY3Q26 print on October 21st."

It wasn't immediately clear what government agency would have oversight of the vehicle, CBS News senior transportation and national correspondent Kris Van Cleave reports. A senior U.S. Transportation Department official expressed some skepticism to CBS News that the vehicle will actually be able to take off, but acknowledged there wasn't a clear answer.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration typically has regulatory oversight of vehicles but delegates safety certification to the automaker. NHTSA didn't immediately respond to CBS News' request for comment.

The Federal Aviation Administration told CBS News the vehicle doesn't meet the agency's definition of an aircraft.

The concept of flying cars has been around almost as long as motor vehicles themselves, with American aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss debuting the first flying car prototype in 1917. But successful designs have been pursued more seriously only in recent years as electric motors and high-performance batteries have advanced.

Ives said the Roadster shows how Tesla and SpaceX can collaborate. The new vehicle "puts the Tesla and SpaceX relationship on the table in a tangible way, with propulsion, pressure-vessel, and control hardware developed at the rocket company sitting on a Tesla product, which in our view strengthens the case for the two companies operating as one engineering platform over time," he said.

Musk — a major GOP political donor known for an often close but sometimes tumultuous relationship with President Trump — has thrust his companies to the forefront of several major industries, and he continues pushing into new ones. 

SpaceX announced a week ago that it had agreed to buy licenses for radio airwaves that will enable its Starlink Mobile satellite business to provide cellular service inside buildings, a move the company said would allow it to "become a major mobile carrier in the U.S."

"This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America," Musk said in an Oct. 8 social media post.

Tyron Douglas Henton Jr., 31, faces the charge in connection with Wednesday night's shooting at La Gran Plaza, according to Fort Worth police.

Officers responded shortly after 8:30 p.m. to the shopping center in the 4200 block of South Freeway near Seminary Drive, where a man reportedly was using a blunt object to smash glass display cases at a jewelry kiosk.

Police said Henton, who was working as a security guard at the shopping center, opened fire and struck the man at least once.

The wounded man fled across the parking lot before collapsing near Seminary Drive, where responding officers attempted lifesaving measures. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Wednesday, witnesses told CBS News Texas that the shooting happened near the entrance of the shopping center, on the south side. They said they heard four to five gunshots and saw the suspect running from the kiosk before they heard gunfire. 

Shopping center employees said the security guard worked for a private company hired by the jewelry business, not the plaza; however, CBS News Texas is still working to confirm that.

A state website that maintains information on licensed security guards shows Henton's license is valid through February 2028.

Video captured on Wednesday shows glass boarded up near the entrance, where witnesses said the shooting happened.

Next-day shoppers were left a little shaken.

"It's definitely really scary," said Jack Woods. "But we obviously want Fort Worth to be safe."

Criminologist Alex Del Carmen said Texas law can allow the use of deadly force in certain circumstances to protect property. 

"What I've read so far, where the individual had already trespassed, the individual not only showed intent, but was actually removing property at the time illegally, that the respondent, in this case, the security guard that was hired by the company to protect that property, use lethal force, and that it is justified under the criminal statute in the state of Texas," Del Carmen said. 

"It's very unlikely, in my view, that this is going to be criminally prosecuted, because, in fact, in Texas, we're kind of unique in that sense, that as a state, we have this castle law, you know, principle that allows for individuals to defend property and people within that area."

Some shoppers said they understand the security guard's response.

"Protecting property, self-defense, I mean, the guy came in here, you don't know if he had a gun, a weapon or something, he could hurt somebody," said Thomas Johnson. "So, I think it's kind of on him for making that decision for himself."

CBS News Texas will provide updates as more information becomes available.

The news capped a tumultuous week for Zacharia, marked by a heavily criticized performance in the White House briefing room and growing questions over whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer, despite never having passed the bar.

One aide told CBS News that Zacharia spent the week unusually isolated and didn't function as a press secretary.

"No one thought she was sticking around long enough to even involve her in actual decision-making," the aide said.

Some White House staff learned about the change from news coverage. The New York Times first reported that she had been fired as press secretary. Zacharia was expected to start a new role in the administration soon, sources familiar with the discussions said.

CBS News reached out to Zacharia for comment, but she did not immediately reply. She was seen at the White House as recently as Friday morning. She and her family were invited to dinner with Vice President JD Vance on Friday night.

Leaving the White House shortly before news of Zacharia's departure as press secretary broke, the president signaled her tenure could be coming to an end, saying he told her he would "reconsider" taking the job if he were in her shoes.

"They've been so nasty to her," Mr. Trump said, referring to the press. "I said, to her, 'Honestly if I were you, I'd reconsider. You think about it. But I would reconsider. You got a beautiful husband and family.' I met the family yesterday. Beautiful kids. It's like from a picture postcard. I said, 'You should reconsider. Because you don't want to go through this.'"

The abrupt shift came one week to the day after Mr. Trump announced Zacharia as his pick to replace Karoline Leavitt, who stepped aside in August. The White House has not yet indicated who may replace Zacharia. 

Zacharia's qualifications and background quickly came under scrutiny as questions arose over her résumé. 

CBS News and other outlets reported that Zacharia has represented herself as a lawyer over the years. She graduated from Pepperdine Law School but failed the California bar exam in 2011, a fact she acknowledged on Thursday. She told the New York Times that the president of Pepperdine University advised her at one point that she could call herself a "lawyer" but not an "attorney."

Zacharia told conservative commentator Jack Posobiec that she never described herself as an "attorney at law," and said there's a "lot of misinformation around the fact that I labeled myself a lawyer."

"I was very careful how I executed this. I never came across as someone who was an attorney at law," Zacharia said.

In her first and only press briefing on Tuesday, a visibly nervous Zacharia spoke from prepared remarks for about 10 minutes before taking questions from just three outlets — Breitbart, Fox News and the Daily Mail — for another five. She defended her performance on Fox News, saying she had little time to prepare.

"What I feel is I really stepped up to the plate to do the press conference, Sean, with very little prep time," Zacharia told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday. "I received briefing materials in the morning of Tuesday and I went to deliver all of the great results that President Trump is delivering for the American people that are not often spread in the national media." 

Hannity, a Trump ally, noted that her performance was "widely panned."

The about-face on Zacharia's role was reminiscent of the tenure of Anthony Scaramucci, who survived just 11 days as White House communications director during Mr. Trump's first term. 

"Records are made to be broken," Scaramucci said in a post on X. "But I take no pleasure in other people's pain."

"I don't think I even had a first thought," Major told "CBS Mornings" on Friday. "I think I stood up, they were locking the doors, and I kind of was figuring out what was going on and why they were locking the doors, and then I heard 'active shooter' and then I said, 'Where?' and they said, 'the school behind us.'"

"I don't know if my co-workers understood that I had a child that went to school there, and so I kind of fell back into my seat for a second, and then paced for a minute, and I stood up and I unlocked the doors and I just started running over to the school," she said.

Major's son was uninjured, but three students — ages 5, 8 and 11 — and one teacher were killed in the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School, police said. A 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher were transported to St. Charles Bend Hospital with critical injuries, according to police.

The alleged shooter, a 16-year-old male, was shot and killed by a bystander who entered the school. 

Kayla's ex-husband, Tyler, said their son didn't really understand what was going on during the incident.

"I mean, they're children and, you know, he didn't even understand that anybody had died until after we picked him up," Tyler Major said. "So we talked to him about that."

Tyler Major said he was standing back from the large group of people who had gathered outside the school in the wake of the shooting when he saw another parent be told their child had been shot.

"I just saw an older lady come out and I could tell she was looking for somebody who was going to get some bad news," he said. "It was heart-wrenching. I had to go take a break and sit down and, I don't know, grieve for her and for the other families that aren't going to have their loved ones anymore ever again."

Police received a 911 call just before 1 p.m. local time from a person who said their truck had been shot several times by a suspect with a long gun. 

The shooter then forced his way into the school by "shooting at locked doors," Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said at a press conference Thursday. A motive for the shooting has not been released.
