Hero father identified in Oregon school shooting after stopping teen gunman from killing more
The 16-year-old shooter and one victim have also been identified

What the coverage shows
Most outlets center the basic police account of the Bend school shooting, with three children and a teacher killed and the attacker later stopped, while AP, Reuters, CBS and BBC all frame their updates as live or unfolding coverage. The New York Times stands out by foregrounding the teacher, Megan Lambert, as working her “dream job,” and in a separate piece by emphasizing heroes, pain and unanswered questions. PBS also diverges by focusing on a special education classroom and, in another item, on broader analysis of what makes the shooting different.
