A hero dad was driving home for his lunch break when he heard gunshots and ran into an Oregon elementary school special education room to stop a crazed teen’s deadly mass shooting, according to a report.
Kaylub Giamanco, a carpenter and father of two girls who attend Silver Rail Elementary, was driving home from his break on Thursday when he heard gunfire, his brother, Kyle Giamanco, told NBC News.
Kaylub Giamanco, 36, who owns a concealed weapon, bravely pursued teen gunman John J. Griffin II into the school building’s special education room and fatally shot him, his brother described.
Despite being credited by authorities with saving lives, Kaylub Giamanco does not want to speak out because he doesn’t feel like a hero and is riddled with guilt for not saving more people, according to his sibling.
Griffin, 16, was armed with his mom’s pump-action shotgun when he opened fire inside the Bend school — killing three children, aged 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher.

The rumor is the shooter was trans.
Good Luck Warrior...
The rumor is the shooter was trans.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
it seems most of them are trans
what a shame
He also doesn't want to speak because Left-wing nut jobs in Oregon Govt will want to prosecute him for "having a gun on schools grounds" or something like that.
Now the real battle will begin for him.

Good job by the guy, but that name deserves a post in the subReddit r/tragedeigh
P
I wonder what manufacturer makes and sells “concealed” weapons, and how much do they cost, as opposed to unconcealed weapons…..
He’s a father. It took incredible strength to take out this crazy kid. He will suffer the rest of his life for doing the right thing. Bless you sir. I hope life is kind to you.
Thank you sir.
“rumor is the shooter was trans.”
I’m just mortified to hear the name.. I could know the parents of this crazy kid. Bend is so woke it stinks.
I know a couple in Bend who have raised their teens to believe they are the opposite sex. The heartbreaking part is when the father was a kid, he was a teenager in my neighborhood, he would have been the one to save this school. He married a gender confused leftist mentally ill girl and lost every ounce of common sense trying to keep the crazy hag happy.
Hero.
He had two kids in that school according to NY Post.
Here's a pic of the alleged perp ...
The school shooter was identified as 16 year old John J Griffin. You Dems are disgusting trying to paint him as MAGA.. Once again, he was one of YOU PEOPLE #LyingLiberals #BendOregon #SchoolShooter https://t.co/ERDLEGJ10d— diane elisbeth (@DeltaKiloSpeaks) October 16, 2026
I doubt it. The perp’s mom purchasing a shotgun for her little darling ought to be enough to satisfy lefty blood-lust for gun owner torment.
God bless you sir. God give the families of the slain strength, courage and fortitude to face each day as it comes and I pray for healing for the wounded. Satan shows himself again on this earth as he does so often. I pray for the day he and his demons are locked into hell forever.
“He will suffer the rest of his life for doing the right thing. Bless you sir. I hope life is kind to you.”
May God bless him to be at peace with his actions. He did a very good and brave thing and no doubt saved precious lives. Hopefully he gets some counseling.
It’s always Drugs in some way
