The suspect’s family in the Bend, Oregon school shooting was apparently no stranger to local authorities before the tragic incident earlier this month … as we’ve learned cops were called out to the 16-year-old’s family home in the years prior.
In police records, obtained by TMZ, a call log shows the Bend Police Department was called multiple times back in 2023 for various reasons, including harassment, a noise complaint, and a domestic dispute. In one call dated March 2, 2023, a woman accused the suspect’s mom — Shauntai May Nickerson — of causing physical injury to her.
It’s currently unclear who called, who was involved in each call, and what the result of the call was … but it wasn’t the last time cops paid a visit to the residence.
According to the report, in 2024 and 2025, BPD arrived to the home for an unwanted subject, welfare check, and another domestic dispute … and the report says fire and rescue also showed up in March 2025 for what appears to be a medical call.
Earlier this year, cops were called for an alleged theft in July … months before authorities began to show up to the home to conduct follow-ups, presumably regarding the fatal tragedy that went down on October 15 — with cops going the 17th and 19th, according to the document.
As we previously reported … authorities say 16-year-old, Griffin J. John II, opened fire at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend — killing four people, including three children and a beloved teacher.
Investigators say Griffin used a gun purchased by Nickerson, who has since defended her son, insisting he was a good kid despite the horrific violence.
