What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the basic frame of a teen shooter killing three children and one teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, and several, including Reuters, BBC News, The Guardian US and CNN, also note that a bystander or community member shot the suspect. The main divergence is in how many deaths are foregrounded: CNN, France 24, Al Jazeera and The Independent lead with four victims, while South China Morning Post and The Hill count five dead including the suspect. The Independent alone adds the detail that a 7-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher were taken to hospital with critical injuries.
