Oregon teacher tackled school gunman before father intervened

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A 16-year-old gunman, identified as Griffin J. John II, opened fire in a classroom at an Oregon junior school, killing four people. A teacher intervened by throwing her phone at the attacker and then tackling him, an act police chief Mike Krantz described as "heroic." The teacher's actions likely saved lives before a father entered the building and shot the gunman. The attacker, a former special needs student at the school, used a 12-gauge shotgun and had numerous rounds remaining when he was killed. AI
