California shooting survivor guided her son by text during Oregon school attack
A woman who survived a 2001 school shooting in California comforted her fifth-grade son by text as a gunman attacked his school in Bend, Oregon. The shooting killed three pupils and a teacher, leaving Michelle shocked that her family had faced such an event twice.
Her son alerted her by Apple Watch and text, and she urged him to stay quiet, avoid calls and contact her only if safe. Police said 16-year-old Griffin John II fired 15 rounds and targeted a special needs classroom where he had once been a pupil; an armed father who entered the school shot him dead. The victims included children aged five, eight and 11, and teacher Meghan Lambert, 25; two others were injured. Police have not established a motive or how the teenager obtained ammunition.
