JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco.

Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots.

After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school.

He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom.

Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face.

The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital.

Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11.

According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children.

You are a hero, Kalub.

St. Valentine was imprisoned, beaten, and beheaded on February 14, 269 AD along the Via Flaminia, just outside of Rome, for aiding persecuted believers and secretly marrying Christian couples during intense Roman persecution.

While unjustly held, he became known for extraordinary miracles — including healing the jailer’s daughter of blindness. After witnessing this miracle, the jailer is said to have given freedom to Christian inmates. Even in chains, Valentine carried revival.

Yet when ordered to renounce his faith in Christ, he refused.

For that bold confession, he was sentenced to death.

On the day of his execution — February 14th — tradition says he wrote a note to the girl he had healed and signed it:

“Your Valentine.”

Valentine’s Day is far more than a commercialized holiday to buy your wife flowers (although that’s never a bad idea 😉).

It is a reminder:

• Pray for the persecuted Church.
• Honor those who risk everything to help them.
• Boldly profess your love for Jesus.
• Hold your loved ones close.

Love that costs something is the most powerful love of all.

Church court rules that congregations cannot leave the #UMC with their property. This shuts down exit processes in conferences where churches were promised an exit if they just stuck around to see what happened at General Conference. https://t.co/NGCMru3PLo
