Hero girl dad who killed Oregon school shooter reveals savage final words he told teen gunman
Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old father, says he shot and stopped a gunman during an attack at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. His intervention came after the attacker had killed three pupils and a teacher, and may have prevented further deaths, including those of Giamanco’s children, who attended the school.
In an interview, Giamanco said the wounded 16-year-old tried to speak, but he replied, “F–k you,” because the teen had taken innocent lives. Giamanco had seen the gunman firing at passing cars before entering the school, where a teacher was grappling with him. He says the event still troubles him, and he is considering starting a non-profit focused on school security; the attacker’s motive remains unclear.
In short
- A father intervened during a deadly school attack in Bend.
