Lone Gunman Injures Teacher, Kills A Student And Then Self.


 A lone gunman  opened fire at a high school near Portland, Oregon, early Tuesday, killing one student and forcing others to flee.

An assistant principal told students to go into lockdown mode. A teacher suffered non-life-threatening injuries. He was treated at the scene.

The suspected gunman is also dead, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said.

According to multiple law enforcement officials, the shooter was a student at the school. The gunman appears to have died from a self-inflicted wound, the sources told CNN.

Authorities are working to notify the relatives of both the shooter and the student, neither of whom has been identified.

Officials believe they know who the gunman was, but they are "not confident enough" to reveal details yet, Troutdale Police Chief Scott Anderson told reporters midday Tuesday.
