To the first responders who rushed toward danger, the school staff who worked to protect their students, and the medical professionals, dispatchers, and countless others responding to this tragedy โ we stand beside you.
No family should ever have to experience the fear and heartbreak of violence in a place where children should feel safe, learn, and grow.

To the Bend community: You are not alone. Your brothers and sisters in law enforcement, and communities throughout Oregon, stand with you.
