EUGENE, Ore. — A suspect was shot Friday at an Oregon middle school, but no students or teachers were hurt, police said.
Students were locked in classrooms, and no one was being allowed into the building during the lockdown, Eugene police Lt. Jennifer Bills told reporters at Cascade Middle School in Eugene, south of Portland. She said she didn’t know the suspect’s condition.
“No students were harmed whatsoever. All the students are safe,” she said.
Bills said the incident began with a dispute outside the school. It wasn’t clear who was involved, and no further details were released.
The Bethel School District released a brief statement calling it an officer-involved shooting but did not elaborate.
