A shooter entered an Oregon high school today and killed one student, authorities said.

Multnomah County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Alexander said the shooter was later found dead, but provided no detail as to how the shooter died.

Police and a SWAT team descended on Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Ore., in the mid-morning hours after receiving reports of a shooting.

Images from local television showed students being evacuated from the school with their hands above their heads. As parents heard the news, they streamed toward the school.

Live coverage from KOIN-TV showed parents gathering at a parking lot, some of them in tears.
