A teacher who was shot by a teenage gunman in a Bend, Oregon, elementary school last week said she saw the attacker and tried to shut the classroom door, “but the shooter was already there.”

Becky Drury said she was shot at close range in the rampage at Silver Rail Elementary School on Thursday.

“Lying on the floor, I saw that my left hand was almost completely severed from the gunshot, and my other arm was also severely injured,” Drury said in a statement Wednesday.

Three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, and a 25-year-old teacher were killed in the attack, which began around 1 p.m., officials said.
