A teacher tackled the Oregon school shooter "and fought to take the firearm from him," police say
New details are emerging about a deadly shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. Ash-har Quraishi reports. "CBS Saturday Morning" delivers two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts.
CBS News
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the basic toll in Bend, with three children and a teacher killed, and several, including AP, Reuters and BBC News, identifying the suspect as a 16-year-old. Reuters and AP also foreground the post-shooting response and updates, while PBS NewsHour shifts away from the breaking-news facts to questions about what can be learned. The Independent, ABC News and CBS News uniquely emphasize people described as heroic intervening adults, and AP alone says the teen was a former student.
