Alternative and independent outlets report that an Oregon community is mourning four people killed in a shooting at an elementary school, while two people wounded in the attack, a special-needs teacher and a student, remained hospitalized on Saturday. The shooting happened at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon. Friends said the survival of the two wounded was a spot of hope amid the grief. The youngest survivor is 7-year-old Saylor Graham, whom those close to her describe as feisty. NPR, a left-leaning outlet, also covers the shooting.
Right-leaning outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while left-leaning and alternative outlets had. Left-leaning coverage centers on NPR's Joel Rose speaking with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek about the shooting, giving an official's reaction. Alternative coverage centers on the human impact: community grief and the condition of the two wounded survivors. The available excerpts do not describe how the attack unfolded, any investigation, or what happens next, so the difference between the two sides is one of emphasis rather than conflicting claims.
