We’re learning more about the 16-year-old who opened fire at a school in Bend, Oregon earlier this month, killing three children and a teacher before an armed Good Samaritan intervened and stopped the attack. Now, as more of the shooter’s history comes to light, one of the newest details is absolutely staggering: Between March 2020 and October 2026, 911 dispatch received 52 calls for service associated with his family’s home. 52 calls in just over six years. According to Deschutes County 911 dispatch records obtained by local news, those calls included a runaway juvenile, suicidal subject, domestic dispute, welfare checks, among others. The records don’t establish that the shooter himself was involved in every one of those calls. But 52 calls associated with one household is an extraordinary amount of contact with the system. Local news also found that his mother had 37 documented encounters with Bend Police dating back to 2013. And that adds to what we already knew about the years leading up to the shooting. As a child, the shooter had been placed in a specialized program for students with significant behavioral and social challenges. Investigators are also looking into his possible connections to violent online extremist groups. Then, just two months before the shooting, his mother bought a shotgun and gave it to him for his 16th birthday. That was the gun he ultimately used in the attack. At some point, we have to ask where the accountability lands. Because after something horrific like this happens, the conversation almost immediately turns to another gun law. Another restriction. Another tool the government supposedly needs to prevent the next one. But what about the tools and systems already in place? How do you get to 52 calls to one home in six years and still end up here? No gun law fixes that. Especially in Oregon, where they have so many gun laws that even the armed Good Samaritan who stopped the shooter had to break the law to end the attack. This is a systemic failure and an accountability problem. We see these failures again and again, but rarely any accountability for how they happened or what needs to change to prevent the next one. Before we start talking about what new laws millions of gun owners need to follow, I want to know where the existing system failed.

If you're in Oregon, you'd better vote for this smoking hot redhead with the big brain. Christine Drazen has the best shot at saving Oregon. She can actually win, too! Let's go @ChristineDrazan!

Posted by Silver Moon Brewing in Bend Oregon… ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 They are located at 24 NW Greenwood Ave. Hi, my name is Steve Augustyn, and I am one of the owners of Silver Moon. I have three young boys who have all attended Silver Rail, and our youngest is in 4th grade at Silver Rail now. The school and the community have been a part of our lives for many years. Some of you know me, and some of you may not. If you do know me, you know how much I love and care about this community and the well-being of people from all walks of life. I have always done my best to make sure Silver Moon is a place where everyone feels welcome. Pubs were created to be gathering places for communities, and that is exactly what I hope we can be. A place where people can come together, support one another, and talk about what they’re feeling, whether it’s good, bad, sad, angry, happy, or anything in between. This Wednesday, October 21st, I would like to invite you all to the pub to do just that. 100% of all sales and donations, not just the profit, but every dollar spent, will be donated to the families ( or a charity of their choosing) who have experienced loss from this tragedy. I am doing this intentionally so there is no confusion about my motives. This is not about notoriety, publicity, or financial gain. I’m doing this for myself, for Silver Rail, and for a community that desperately needs a place to come together and support one another. With love, Steve & Marissa Augustyn P.S. I apologize for any grammatical errors. I did not use AI to write this message ❤️ (Original post in comments)

A legend was born this week. God bless you, Kaylub! Wow.

Oregon made national and international headlines yesterday for all the wrong reasons: a downtown Portland mass stabbing and a mass shooting at a Bend elementary school. The loss of life and trauma inflicted on the school community are heartbreaking. My prayers are with every victim, family, student, educator, and first responder affected. I’m profoundly grateful to the courageous individual who intervened to stop the gunman and potentially save additional lives. If the hero who stopped the gunman at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend HAD NOT IGNORED the school district’s gun policies, more people would be injured or deceased. Meanwhile, Portland continues to grapple with violent crime and a deteriorating sense of public safety. Oregonians deserve more than statements of concern after each tragedy. They deserve effective prevention, meaningful accountability, and policies grounded in real-world outcomes. Governor Tina Kotek and state leaders should be judged on results not rhetoric. Are our communities safer? Are schools adequately protected? Are violent offenders being held accountable? Are families seeing an improvement in their quality of life? Compassion for victims and accountability for leadership are not mutually exclusive. Oregon cannot afford to treat each tragedy as an isolated headline, offer condolences, and then return to business as usual. Residents deserve a serious examination of what is failing, what must change, and who is accountable for delivering results. The quality of life has so deteriorated under the “leadership” of Tina Kotek and forty years of single party rule. How can any sane person vote to give Tina Kotek another four years to destroy our state? @GovTinaKotek @MayorKWilson @ChristineDrazan @PortlandPolice @BendCityPolice

None. The bystander acted in lawful defense of others under Oregon ORS 161.209 and 161.219, which justify deadly force against an active shooter committing a violent felony. Bend-La Pine policy bars CHL carry on school grounds, so possession or discharge (ORS 166.370) is theoretically a Class C felony (max 5 years, $125k fine). Justification defenses defeat that. No charges filed; officials call the person a hero.

Idahoans If you are looking for a voter guide, look at this post and share with others you know! I am not VOTING for LITTLE! Please, be prepared to VOTE because this election will be very important for the future our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

MR. PRESIDENT MR. VICE PRESIDENT @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @DonaldJTrumpJr We must have the truth. We cannot allow Charlie Kirk’s assassination to become another JFK-style cover-up. Assassinations may be part of the dark, corrupted machinery of statecraft — but the public will no longer tolerate this kind of brutality, deception, contempt for human life, or the terrible loss of such a brilliant and accomplished young leader. Charlie was a good man, with a big heart. No political disagreement, no public condemnation of Israel’s crimes in Gaza, and no earthly grievance against him should ever have justified Charlie’s death. @RealCandaceO @baroncoleman @MrsErikaKirk @TPUSA @AndrewKolvet @BlakeSNeff @FBIDirectorKash @JohnMappin 🔥ANDREW, BLAKE, ERIKA — literally no one with an ounce of common sense believes the official story or can comprehend your support of the official story.🔥 Those of us who have done our own research, followed Candace, Baron, and the many others contributing to this now enormous body of counterevidence, know the official story to be absurdly and utterly false. It defies logic. It defies the evidence. And it defies Charlie’s injuries. So if you are certain of the official story, then show these videos in Eric’s post below, on The Charlie Kirk Show: a professional riflemen testing a 30-06 round at the same distance Charlie was supposedly hit, firing into bovine vertebrae and thigh bones wrapped in meat. Show those tests to your audience — and then tell us again that Tyler Robinson shot Charlie with a 30-06 round. Tell us again that the official story makes sense. You all know it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. So the question is simple: Andrew, Blake, Erika — if you had nothing to do with any conspiracy surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, then stop making yourselves look suspicious by pushing back so hard against the undeniable, plainly visible contradictory evidence — and thus helping those engaging in this obvious cover-up. Millions of people are watching now. Millions of us care deeply. And none of us are going to let this go until we get justice for Charlie. @TuckerCarlson @RealAlexJones @jimmy_dore @IanCarrollShow @ShawnRyan762 @laralogan @RepThomasMassie @realannapaulina @RogerJStoneJr @GenFlynn @ggreenwald #Charlie #CharlieKirk #ErikaKirk #TPUSA
