Students at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, returned to class Thursday, nearly a month after a shooting that killed three students receiving special education services and a teacher^1,2.

Bend-La Pine Schools closed the campus after the Oct. 15 attack and reopened it with building changes, extra mental-health staff and a school resource officer assigned for the rest of the school year^1,2.

KGW reported a new wall now stands outside the special-education classroom, closing an interior doorway that once connected it to the rest of the school, and that special-needs students have been moved to two other classrooms¹.

The district told KGW that parents will help decide what happens next to that classroom¹.

KOIN, citing Bend police, reported that a 16-year-old later identified as Griffin John Jr. entered the school with a gun, fired as many as 15 rounds in a special-needs classroom, and was then shot and killed by a witness at the scene².

KOIN said families walked through the school earlier this week and that repairs included replacement of doors and windows that were shot out, plus a mural around the classroom where the shooting occurred².

KGW reported that parents at a Tuesday school board meeting pressed for bulletproof glass, panic buttons and privacy film on classroom windows, while the district said its budget is stretched thin and it is applying for grants for further security work¹.

KOIN did not report that board meeting; KGW did not name the suspect or describe the police account of how the shooting ended^1,2.
