Student, Shooter Dead In Oregon High School Shooting

Police and a SWAT team descended on a Portland-area high school on Tuesday, after they received reports of a shooting.

The Multnomah Co. Sheriff's Office said a shooter entered the school and shot and killed one student. The suspect is also dead, but there was no detail on how the suspect died.

Images from local television showed students being evacuated from Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Oregon, with their hands above their heads. As parents heard the news, they streamed toward the school.
