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.
BREAKING: The US is now directly posturing for a potential ground invasion of Iran, sending a third aircraft carrier strike group and up to 10,000 additional sailors and Marines toward the Middle East, while the USS Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group deploys more than 2,000 Marines trained for amphibious operations, according to US officials cited by Al Jazeera and the Wall Street Journal.
The USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group departed San Diego on September 27, while the Makin Island ARG followed with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard. The force includes USS Makin Island, USS John P. Murtha and USS Anchorage, with F-35B Lightning IIs and MV-22B Ospreys.
If the deployment proceeds as planned, three US aircraft carriers and two Amphibious Ready Groups could be positioned near Iran by the end of November, adding up to 9,000 to 10,000 personnel to a region where more than 50,000 US troops are already stationed.
Washington has also deployed two additional Patriot batteries, one to protect a Saudi oil facility and another to protect a Qatari gas installation, amid fears of Iranian retaliation against Gulf energy infrastructure if major US strikes resume.
Every Republican but Rand Paul voted to block an investigation of nine Americans killed by Israel. Fetterman joined. This is not normal. US politicians betraying American citizens and not asking for accountability for their murders is crazy. They betray us for Israel every time.
We’ve lost 30% of our purchasing power in the last 6 years and somehow, everyone just accepted it.
We literally were made 30% poorer so the government can spend trillions.
Makes me sick to my stomach to see a twitch streamer school two black people on the parallels of imperial violence between Hamas and black activists fighting systemic violence and oppression. Sorry state of affairs.
We now know the total amount of public funds being requested by GM and Bedrock for the Renaissance Center redevelopment. Many residents at Tuesday's community benefits meeting opposed the proposed tear down of part of Detroit's most famous landmark. https://t.co/3tdnOEbttQ
