Alternative and independent outlets, represented here by AP, report that the community of Bend, Oregon, is mourning four people killed in a shooting at an elementary school, while two people who were wounded, a special-needs teacher and a student, remained hospitalized on Saturday. Friends described their survival as a spot of hope in a grieving community, and the coverage highlights the youngest survivor, 7-year-old Saylor Graham.
