What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the same basic frame: a 16-year-old suspect opened fire at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, and the coverage says four victims were killed, usually described as three children and one teacher. The AP, Reuters, BBC, France 24, ABC News and The Hill emphasize the suspect’s death and the count of the dead, while CNN and 60 Minutes focus more on police details and the school community’s response. The Guardian US is explicit that two more people were left in critical condition, and The Independent’s extract is the only one to foreground the victims’ ages.
