Megan Lambert had her life taken, yesterday in a senseless mass shooting. She was a teacher and a coach. She attempted to tackle the gunman, while unarmed, to prevent the deaths and injuries of others. She fought to defend, and she will be remembered a hero. www.facebook.com/100094218176...

Megan Lambert coach and teacher killed in Bend Oregon
Titles are generated by AI from Meta
BEND, OREGON | Coach Megan
Her name was Megan Lambert.
She was a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary. And to the girls of Central Oregon Volleyball Club, she was Coach Megan.
In her first year coaching, she refused to be paid. She asked that the money go to players whose families couldn't afford for them to play. That's who she was. She made room for kids who might otherwise have been left on the sidelines.
On Thursday, she was one of four people killed at Silver Rail Elementary.
Heidi, from Central Oregon Volleyball Club, shared what so many who knew her are feeling:
"She would have given you the shirt off her back, but you didn't give her the chance... you didn't give her the chance to be the great mom that we all knew she would be."
A teacher. A coach. Someone who gave more than she ever took.
Three children and the woman who spent her days caring for children like them. Bend lost all four on the same afternoon.
Rest Peacefully, Megan Lambert.
