Oregon school shooter was former special needs student, police say

Sixteen-year-old Griffin J. John II killed three children and a teacher in a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. Police and school officials said he had formerly been a special-needs student at the school, although he was not enrolled in the local public school system at the time. Police said he fired as many as 15 shots from a 12-gauge shotgun before Kaylub Giamanco, a father of two pupils, shot and killed him; a teacher who threw her phone at the gunman and tackled him was not injured. Investigators are still trying to determine how the teenager obtained the weapon.
