Police in Eugene and Springfield shared plans to have more officers near local schools Friday, Oct. 16, after three children and a teacher were killed at a school in Bend.

“Tomorrow, Eugene Police officers will have an increased presence near local elementary schools as a visible show of support and reassurance for students, parents, and school staff,” the Eugene Police Department shared in a post on social media.

Springfield Police Department responded to comments after posting a lengthy message offering support to the Bend community.

“Can you all do like EPD and have extra around our schools tomorrow,” wrote a commenter.

“[W]e plan on it,” the police department’s official Facebook account replied.

In Bend, a bystander fatally shot the 16-year-old suspect after following the suspected shooter into Silver Rail Elementary School. Two others victims were described by police as critically wounded.

Springfield police in 1998 responded to a school shooting at Thurston High School that left two dead and 25 wounded.

“We understand the profound shock and grief that follows a tragedy like this,” Springfield police said in a social media post, adding that “we also know the incredible resilience, unity, and courage that emerges when a community comes together.

“To the families who are hurting, and to the Bend first responders working tirelessly on the front lines—your bravery and dedication carry your city through its hardest moments. We see you, we honor you, and we stand ready to support you in any way we can.”
