‼️ MOTHER OF 16-YEAR-OLD OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER INSISTS HE WAS A “GOOD BOY” AFTER HE KILLED THREE CHILDREN AND A TEACHER
The mother of the 16-year-old gunman responsible for Thursday’s horrific elementary school shooting in Bend, Oregon, is speaking out, insisting her son was a good boy despite the unimaginable violence that left four innocent people dead.
John J. Griffin II, 16, has been identified as the teenager who opened fire at Silver Rail Elementary School on October 15, killing three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, along with a teacher. A 7-year-old student and another teacher, 54, were critically injured.
According to the New York Post, Griffin’s mother broke down in tears while discussing her son, describing him as a good boy and struggling to reconcile the child she knew with the horrific acts he allegedly committed.
But another disturbing detail has emerged about the weapon used in the massacre.
According to NBC News, two senior law enforcement officials confirmed that Griffin’s mother purchased the firearm he used in the shooting around his birthday in August, just two months before the attack.
The weapon was reportedly a pump-action shotgun.
Authorities have not publicly established whether the firearm was specifically intended as a birthday gift or explained how Griffin gained access to it on the day of the shooting.
Investigators say the teenager arrived at Silver Rail Elementary shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday and began firing. He reportedly shot through locked school doors to force his way inside, where children and teachers were going about their normal school day.
Among those killed was 5-year-old Rhoam Summer, a kindergartener whose family is now preparing to bury their little boy instead of watching him grow up.
Two other children, ages 8 and 11, and a teacher also lost their lives.
The massacre might have claimed even more victims if not for the actions of 36-year-old Kaylub Giamanco, a local father whose two daughters attend the elementary school.
Giamanco was reportedly driving home during his lunch break when he heard gunfire. Armed with a legally carried concealed weapon, he pursued the teenager into the school and fatally shot him, bringing the rampage to an end.
Despite being credited with saving lives, Giamanco is reportedly struggling emotionally with what happened and does not consider himself a hero.
Meanwhile, investigators are examining Griffin’s electronic devices, internet searches and social media activity to determine whether he had an interest in previous mass shootings or other acts of violence.
Authorities have not announced a motive or established whether Griffin had any personal connection to Silver Rail Elementary School.
While Griffin’s mother remembers him as a good boy, four families are now mourning loved ones who will never come home.

🚨MEET SAYLOR GRAHAM. SHE’S ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. AND SHE’S FIGHTING TO RECOVER AFTER BEING SHOT IN THE FACE AT SCHOOL.
I want everyone to take a moment to look at this beautiful little girl.
Her name is Saylor Graham, and she is one of the youngest survivors of yesterday’s horrific mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon.
Saylor, who uses a wheelchair and already lives with significant medical challenges, was inside the classroom when 16-year-old Griffin J. John II opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun, killing three children and a 25-year-old teacher.
Saylor survived.
And tonight, there is some encouraging news.
According to the Bend Police Department’s latest update, Saylor received lifesaving treatment at the scene and is now hospitalized at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, where she remains in serious but stable condition.
This little girl and her family were already fighting battles long before a gunman entered her classroom.
According to a GoFundMe established to support her recovery, Saylor has numerous existing medical needs. Her parents are both self-employed, and caring for their daughter has already significantly limited their ability to work.
Now they’re facing an unimaginable additional burden.
Hospital expenses. Travel. Lodging. Lost income. And the uncertainty of what Saylor’s recovery will require in the weeks and months ahead.
I’m sharing the fundraiser below for anyone who would like to help.
If you cannot contribute financially, I’m asking you to do something else.
Pray for Saylor. Pray for her parents. Pray for her medical team. And pray for every family whose life was forever changed yesterday. Please also share her story and her fundraiser everywhere. 
Four innocent people didn’t get to come home. Saylor did survive, and I’m praying this beautiful little girl continues to fight her way back to the life she deserves.
God bless you, sweet Saylor. ❤️🙏
Griffin J. John II, 16, shot the glass out of a locked side door at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon on Thursday and forced his way in. About a minute earlier he'd fired into a car in the parking lot.
He walked into the first classroom he reached. A special-needs room. Three kids, ages 5, 8 and 11, and their 25-year-old teacher were killed, all of them in that one class.
He knew the room. Back in 2020 he was a special-ed student at Silver Rail himself, in a program for kids with intensive behavioral and social challenges. Relatives say he'd been taught in the same classroom he opened fire in.
The gun was a Maverick 88 pump 12-gauge. His mother bought it in August, around his birthday. He brought nearly 60 shells and fired about 15 before Kaylub Giamanco, a dad on his lunch break with two girls at the school, chased him in and shot him dead.
Oregon makes you 18 to buy a shotgun. A parent can legally hand one to a minor. His mother's cooperating with police and hasn't been charged.
Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old carpenter in Bend, Oregon, was driving home from lunch when he heard gunshots and saw a gunman enter Silver Rail Elementary, where his two little girls go to school. The shooter, a 16-year-old, had just blasted his way through locked doors into a special needs classroom. Kaylub ran toward the gunfire without thinking twice, went into that school, and killed the shooter before police got inside. No telling how many kids he saved. His family says he feels guilty that he couldn't save more kids. Sadly, three kids and one teacher didn't make it.
Kaylub’s family says he isn't looking for any recognition and that he just wants to thank the first responders and the community.
This man is a hero. He was put in a nearly impossible situation and handled it about as well as anyone could.
Kaylub Giamanco Identified as Bystander Who Reportedly Stopped Silver Rail Elementary School Shooter in Bend, Oregon
(Good Samaritan) Father who shot and killed Silver Rail Elementary School Suspect ID'd as Kaylub Giamanco.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
About the Omani copilot, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "We know that he underwent Islamist radical indoctrination."
What is the Omani copilot saying?
Several Israeli passengers overpowered the radical Omani copilot in the Flydubai fight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on 30 Sep 2026.
Two off-duty Flydubai pilots traveling as passengers then took the flight deck and landed the Boeing 737 at Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
Captain Smit Machchhar (an Indian Hindu) saved the lives of passengers.
Omani co-pilot stabbed Indian captain Smit Machchhar mid-air and tried to crash the Dubai–Tel Aviv Flydubai flight.
Captain fought back and opened the cockpit. Israeli passengers stormed in WHILE the plane was plunging thousands of feet and subdued him.
Off-duty pilots landed it safely in Saudi Arabia. All 174 passengers safe.
India stands with Israel. 🇮🇳❤️🇮🇱
#SmitMachchhar #Hero #Flydubai #Hijack
Indian Captain Smit Machchhar has brought honour to the country with a display of rare courage aboard Flydubai flight FZ1073.
Stabbed in the cockpit and still fighting to keep control of the aircraft, he helped stop what officials have described as an attempt to bring the plane down.
Around 180 people on board reached the ground alive after an emergency diversion to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
Know your real Avengers 🚨
- Captain Smit Machchhar, who fought the attacker and opened the cockpit
- Asaf Redjuan, who rushed at the attacker
- Israeli dad Tzvika Mans, who tied the attacker with a cable so he couldn't move
- Yaniv Hayon, who handled the aircraft and kept it stable
- Dr. Shota Musaev, who treated the captain and stopped the excessive bleeding.
They all worked together and made sure all those 180 passengers landed safely. Truly, men are brave 🙏
🤣 PULP FAUCI FICTION.
After Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment, the internet did what it does best...
It made a parody.
This is brilliant. 😂
🎥 Watch the clip. 👇
2 years ago, Jordan "The Fearless Patriot" Salinas posted on Facebook "train like your life depends on it because God forbid, one day it might"
Today he helped save the lives of countless civilians from an active shooter at the In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho
what's chilling is that in this very facebook post from 2 years ago, he is posed in the exact same way and holding what appears to be the same gun that he used to save the lives of countless individuals today
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
What country are we living in right now?
Alaska Airlines had Whitney Lynn (evangelist, singer and songwriter) removed from their flight for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ! She was told the crew felt unsafe!
