Trump plans White House bravery honour for father who killed Oregon gunman

Donald Trump says he plans to invite Kaylub Giamanco to the White House to receive a civilian bravery honour after the Oregon school shooting. Giamanco, a father whose daughters attend Silver Rail Elementary, shot and killed the gunman after seeing a teacher confront him; police said his actions likely saved lives.

The article reports that the 16-year-old gunman killed three pupils, aged five, eight and 11, and teacher Megan Lambert, and injured a seven-year-old pupil and educational assistant Becky Drury, who were both stable in hospital. He had fired 15 rounds and carried 44 more, according to the report. Giamanco’s mother said he was traumatised and did not seek recognition; the shooting was the 28th mass killing in the US this year.
