Oregon school shooting kills four; Trump cancels execution livestream
A 16-year-old opened fire at an Oregon elementary school, killing three children and a teacher before being shot by a bystander; separately, Trump reversed course on livestreaming a Fort Hood shooter's execution.
A shooting at an Oregon elementary school left four people dead and two others injured. The gunman, a 16-year-old, fired a shotgun at a pickup truck before entering the school, where he killed three children ages 5, 8, and 11, along with a teacher. A bystander shot and killed the gunman during the rampage, according to police.
Reports indicate the shotgun used in the attack was purchased by the shooter's mother. The incident unfolded over several hours, with initial reports of multiple victims gradually clarifying as authorities responded to the scene.

In a separate development, President Trump announced that the execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, will not be livestreamed to the public. Trump had previously approved plans to stream the firing squad execution, but reversed the decision after objections.
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed reports that she never passed the bar exam. The revelation prompted a watchdog to seek an investigation into her legal résumé.
