A second person was found with a gun Tuesday at the Oregon high school where a shooter took one student’s life and then wound up dead, according to local police.

Troutdale, Oregon Police Chief Scott Anderson said at a press conference that the additional gun was not related to the shooting and that the person in possession of the weapon was taken into custody. The gun was found during the evacuation process, according to Anderson.

The gunman shot and killed a student at Reynolds High School in Troutdale on Tuesday morning. The shooter was later found dead, though authorities had not yet disclosed the circumstances of his death.

Anderson said the gunman used a rifle and has been “tentatively identified.” Authorities were in the process of identifying the next of kin for both the victim and the shooter, but Anderson said that investigators weren’t yet confident enough to release the shooter’s identity.

A teacher also suffered “non-life threatening injuries”in the shooting and was treated at the scene, according to Anderson.

  1. GUNS GUNS GUNS! Everywhere! Even unused at school shootings! The NRA dream came true years ago. Over 300 million guns for 300 million people.

    Now dontcha just feel so safe?

  2. But this is impossible! .Wild West Wayne sez in order to be safe, we must all have guns.

    He sez so!

  3. Nope! We need more guns, at least 4:1 per capita! That way, we can just discard one when it runs out of ammo or malfunctions, grab another loaded one and continue shooting! I’ve seen it work in the movies and on video games, so it must be true!

  4. These gun people . . .are killing the rest of us. Fuck their “rights.” They’ve got the right to be responsible with their toys.

  5. So is this 2nd kid with a gun a “good guy” with a gun? Why was he arrested for doing what Republicans and the NRA say he should do to protect himself?
