BEND, OR -- A Pilot Butte Middle School student remains in custody after the 12-year-old allegedly brought a loaded gun to campus Monday. Bend Police say the child told a teacher they had the gun.

Investigators say they later learned the student planned to use the weapon on a list of targets. Everyone on that list has been contacted by police. The suspect is accused of attempted murder and other charges. The student's parent was also cited for failing to secure the firearm. 

Following that Monday incident, police were notified of multiple new threats and later charged a second student with disorderly conduct for spreading threats that were deemed not credible.

Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Dr. Steven Cook released the following statement Thursday: 

“We stand with our students, staff and families in expressing significant concern over the details emerging from the police investigation of the Oct. 21 incident at Pilot Butte Middle School. At the same time, we are so relieved and grateful for the actions of our staff and School Resource Officer in preventing what could have been a tragic outcome. We appreciate our partnership and collaborative decision-making with the Bend Police Department. This remains an ongoing police investigation. We also want to recognize and continue to support our students and families, who understandably remain concerned and have many questions. The District will continue to provide counseling resources at Pilot Butte.”
