Emilio Luis Hoff, a 14-year-old student, was killed on June 10, 2014, when a classmate opened fire at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Oregon. The gunman entered the detached gym building and shot Emilio inside the boys’ locker room, prompting a campus-wide lockdown as students and staff sheltered in place.

Investigators identified the shooter as a 15-year-old freshman, Jared Michael Padgett. Authorities say he arrived with a guitar case and duffel bag concealing an AR-15–type rifle, a semiautomatic handgun he did not fire, multiple loaded magazines, a knife, and a vest for carrying ammunition. During the response the shooter retreated to a restroom, exchanged fire with a first responder, and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police reported no known prior connection or established motive between Padgett and Emilio, and described the attack as the act of a lone assailant.

Does anyone have information about Emilio’s life at Reynolds High or memories from that day that could add context to his story?
