🇺🇸 The father who took down the Oregon school shooter tells his story for the first time
Kaylub Giamanco, a veteran with 2 daughters at Silver Rail Elementary, was driving past when a 16-year-old shot his way into the school last week.
He heard children pleading for their lives, then gunfire, and made his choice:
“I have to go in. People are going to die.”
He crawled in through a shot-out window and found a teacher wrestling the gunman inside the special needs classroom.
“He did not know that I was there.”
He stepped in and fired, ending an attack that had already killed 3 children and a teacher.
HERO. ❤️

Remember the name Kaylub Giamanco. A carpenter. A father. An armed citizen who heard gunfire and went toward the danger.
According to reporting, the 36-year-old father of two was driving home for lunch when he heard shots near Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, where his children attend. Carrying a concealed firearm with a permit, he followed the gunman inside and fatally shot him, ending the attack. In those terrible moments, an ordinary working man accepted an extraordinary risk to protect children.
That deserves recognition without hesitation or embarrassment. Responsible gun ownership has a human face. Here, it is the face of a father who had both the means to intervene and the courage to act. The right to keep and bear arms includes the ability to defend innocent life when danger arrives and every second matters.
Three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, and a teacher were killed. A seven-year-old child who uses a wheelchair was shot in the face and hospitalized. Those losses and injuries must remain at the center of this story. No tribute can erase the suffering of these families.
According to his brother, Giamanco is struggling with guilt because he could not save more people. That is a heartbreaking burden for a man who risked his own life to stop the killing.
Kaylub, the responsibility for this atrocity belongs to the person who committed it. You deserve gratitude, support and the time and care needed to live with what you witnessed.
We cannot know how many additional lives your intervention protected. We can recognize the courage it took to enter that school and confront an armed attacker.
America should honor that courage. Defending the Second Amendment and protecting children belong in the same conversation. So do secure schools, responsible firearm storage, effective law enforcement and the determination to confront threats before families are left grieving.
A carpenter went out for lunch and found himself facing a nightmare. He stepped forward when innocent people needed help.
You are a hero, Kaylub. May your community stand beside you with the same resolve you showed when you stood up for its children.
🚨 BREAKING: A bystander had already KlLLED the shooter at the Bend elementary school before police even arrived
And even CNN is admitting this would've been MUCH WORSE had that good guy with a gun NOT been there:
"We can only imagine, had that person with a firearm NOT been there and taken that action... the fatalities and the casualties could be worse. This could've gone on longer!"
🚨 BREAKING — IT'S OFFICIAL: A PRIVATE CITIZEN with a firearm PERSONALLY KlLLED the Bend, OR elementary school shooter
This man is a HERO! Proof we need more GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS!
PD CHIEF: "The suspect had been shot by a COMMUNITY MEMBER who had seen the suspect enter the school, pursued him into the school, and engaged him."
"Our officers entered the building and confirmed the suspect was DEAD."
🚨🇺🇸 A random bystander took down the Oregon school shooter in under three minutes... in a district that BANS guns on campus
Three minutes. That's how long it took police to reach Silver Rail Elementary in Bend after a teenager with a long gun walked in, and by the time they got there he was already dead on the floor, killed by a civilian nobody has named yet.
He'd already murdered a 5-year-old, an 8-year-old, an 11-year-old and their teacher.
A 7-year-old and a 54-year-old teacher are fighting for their lives tonight.
Here's the part the lawyers are going to fight over.
Bend's school district banned every firearm on its property in 2022, permit holders included, and state law says a gun on campus has to be unloaded and locked in a car.
Police won't say where the bystander was standing or whether he was supposed to have a gun at all.
So the system said no guns, the killer brought one anyway, and the only thing that stopped him was someone who may have also broken the rule.
Whatever the circumstances, the person is a HERO.

Imagine how massive the propaganda must have been to convince young people that the one on the left “isn’t a child” and the one on the right “is a woman.”
If a black college girl was dragged from her porch and beaten by a white mob, EVERY SINGLE MSM OUTLET would cover it.
When the reverse happens?
Total silence.
