An armed father in Oregon who was hailed for his heroic actions during a deadly shooting at his daughters' elementary school is the subject of a newly released 911 call, according to a CBS News report on the recording. The outlet's headline described the call as frantic and said the father killed the school shooter.
CBS News reported that the father frantically called authorities before he went after the shooter. The summary of the report does not describe what he said to dispatchers, so this account does not characterize the contents of the call.
CBS News described the father as having been hailed for his heroic actions during the shooting at his daughters' elementary school in Oregon. The same report presents that description as the outlet's own characterization of the events, and this newspaper has not separately verified it.
The summary provided for this report does not include the date of the shooting, the number of people hurt or killed, the name of the school or the father, or any statement from police or school officials. CBS News did not list an author for the piece in the material reviewed, so no reporter is named here.
CBS News published the report on November 3, 2026, according to its listing. The American Intelligencer has not independently confirmed the details of the call or the events it describes, and this account relies only on the CBS News headline and summary.
