Heroic gunman reveals the chilling final words he said to school shooter before killing him
Kaylub Giamanco, a father whose daughters attend Silver Rail Elementary in Oregon, described confronting and fatally shooting a 16-year-old gunman during an attack at the school on 15 October. He said he acted to stop the shooting after seeing the teenager struggling with a teacher, and later told the gunman, “F*** you”.
The attack left five people dead, including the gunman, and two injured. Teacher Cassidy Schutz had fought the assailant before Giamanco entered; police said her actions almost certainly helped prevent further casualties. Giamanco called 911, then said he felt the shock of the events only after police arrived and he spoke with his family.
In short
- A father stopped a school attack after a teacher fought the gunman.
- Five people died, including the 16-year-old attacker.
- Giamanco said he acted to protect pupils and his own children.
