Oregon's governor says a community member likely saved lives by chasing down a teenager who shot and killed three children and a teacher at an elementary school in the city of Bend. Gov. Tina Kotek praised the person who shot the attacker inside Silver Rail Elementary School on Thursday and helped end the rampage. Police say the three children killed were ages 5, 8 and 11. They didn't give the name or age of the teacher who was killed. Another child and a teacher were wounded and taken to a hospital in critical condition. The city's police chief says the 16-year-old attacker, who was from Bend, was found dead inside the school minutes after the first calls for help.
