APTOPIX Oregon School Shooting

Police say a teacher threw her phone at the teenage gunman who killed four people at an Oregon elementary school, then tackled and fought with him. The gunman was then shot and killed by a father who followed him into the building. Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz called the teacher's actions “heroic” during a news conference. He says she was not injured. He identified the attacker as 16-year-old Griffin J. John. Krantz says all of the victims were shot in the same classroom. Authorities say John had once been a special needs student at the school and had attacked a classroom with special needs students. Krantz says John fired as many as 15 shots from a 12-gauge shotgun.
