After the unimaginable happens, an Oregon town mourns: ‘You can’t stop thinking about the kids’

A shooting at an elementary school in Bend on Thursday left three children and one teacher dead

For three long hours on Thursday afternoon, Joe Camarlinghi waited at a Bend, Oregon, church for word about his daughter.

Camarlinghi had received an alert about a shooting at Silver Rail elementary, heard sirens and quickly headed to campus, where he was directed to the church along with other parents. Parents and teachers cried and hugged, and waited.
