A 54-year-old teacher who survived a mass shooting at an Oregon elementary school said she pretended to be dead so the gunman would not shoot her again.

Becky Drury, a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School, said in a statement shared with US media that as she tried to shut her classroom door, the gunman shot her and she fell to the floor.

"I did the only thing I could do, which was to pretend to be dead in the hope he would not shoot me again," Drury said.

The attacker - who has been identified as a 16-year-old former student at the school - killed three students and a teacher before a parent from the school fatally shot him.

In her first remarks since the 15 October shooting in Bend, Oregon, Drury said that she went to see what was happening outside the special-education classroom, and after spotting the shooter, she tried to shut the door.

The attacker still managed to shoot her, so she could not help any of the children in the classroom.

"Lying on the floor, I saw that my left hand was almost completely severed from the gunshot, and my other arm was also severely injured," she said.

"I could not get up, defend myself, or protect anyone else." Drury suffered serious but not life-threatening harm from the shooting, which killed five-year-old Rhoam Summer, an eight and eleven-year-old, and 25-year-old teacher Megan Lambert.

"I know there has been contradictory reporting about my actions that day, but the truth is I was shot before I had any chance to act," she said in her statement.
