At the time of the Bend, Oregon shooting, on the 44th Parallel North, where the shooter had 44 remaining shots in his pocket, Kip Kinkel, the Oregon school shooter of 1998, is currently 44.
He was 15 then, the latest Oregon shooting happened on the 15th of October, 15 days after the Governor’s birthday, and the shooter at Bend allegedly fired 15 shots (Gun=15, Ammo=15).
The Kip Kinkel shooting was in ’98.
Notice Kip Kinkel killed his parents on Cannonball Day, the day to remember the death of Christopher Columbus, and also the day to remember the shooting of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order.
Read about the Columbus Day parallels to the Bend, Oregon shooting of October 15, 2026, three days after Columbus Day, a shooting that also has parallels to Columbine.
From Kip Kinkel’s birthday to this latest shooting was a span of 47 days (Columbus=47).
From the killing of Kip Kinkel’s parents on Cannonball Day, to the shooting at Columbine, was 47 weeks and 6 days later.
