A teacher who survived the mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, has said she pretended to be dead after being shot by the 16-year-old attacker, hoping he would not shoot her again. Becky Drury said in a statement that she tried to shut her classroom door but was shot before she could protect any children.
