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.
@SweatieAngle @madmart33363545 @supremeMilo Ah, ok. I didn’t realize you were being an illogical midwit on purpose. That clears thing up, thanks for explaining.
@Paul_221144 @SweatieAngle She’s just flailing about wildly while refusing to respond to legitimate questions.
Quite typical actually for a poaster of this repute.
@SweatieAngle @madmart33363545 @supremeMilo Somebody asked you if you understood “supply and demand” and you resorted to ad hominem and evasion.
You’re not coming off here as anything but an angry, irrational troll. Sorry to tell you, but it’s true.
Two years ago Jake Bauers told his agent he was retiring. The plan was that his wife would go back to teaching and he would stay home with their kid.
Three days later she told him she was pregnant, so he went back to work instead. For the insurance.
Tonight he hit the go ahead home run in the National League Championship Series.
Here is the whole thing.
He is from Newport Beach, California, and he went to Marina High School in Huntington Beach. San Diego took him in the 7th round.
Then seven organizations in 11 years. He hit for the cycle with Cleveland once. He has also been traded four times, sent down, taken off a 40 man roster and signed to three different minor league deals.
He is a career .224 hitter.
Two years ago he hit .199 with 118 strikeouts, and he decided that was enough.
He figured the last good swing of his career was a home run he hit in a wild card game that October. He was fine with that being the end of it.
Here is how he describes what happened next.
"She tells me she's pregnant."
And then this.
"Obviously, she wasn't going back to work, so we decided I was going to keep playing."
And the reason, in four words.
"We needed health insurance."
So he did not retire. Milwaukee took him off the roster that November anyway. He went into free agency, re-signed a minor league deal in January, and made the team out of spring training.
This year he hit .266 with 26 home runs and 86 RBI and an .873 OPS.
He is 31 years old and it is the best season of his life by a wide margin.
In game 2 of this series he fouled off pitch after pitch against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 12 of them in one at bat.
Here is what he said about that.
"I decided that he wasn't going to get me."
And here is what he said about his wife a few days ago.
"We have two kids, so she's holding it down at home by herself a lot of the time, which is a lot."
And this.
"She stuck by me this whole time when it wasn't always easy."
And then he said this about himself.
"I wasn't always the best husband. I wasn't always the best father."
Here is the honest part. He is still a .224 hitter for his career and one great season does not erase 11 years of being almost good enough. He had not homered once in this postseason before tonight.
But the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6 to 2 and they are up three games to none.
A man quit baseball two years ago.
His wife got pregnant, they needed the insurance, and he went back to work.

This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.
Memphis mom’s split-second decision may have saved a 3-year-old’s life.
Jabril Walls had just dropped her own kids off at school and was heading to her grandmother’s house in Frayser when she saw a tiny girl standing alone in the middle of a busy street.
She didn’t wait. She pulled over, used her car to block traffic, opened her arms — and the frightened toddler ran straight to her, asking for mommy and daddy.
Together with her grandmother, Walls followed the little girl’s clues: a gray-and-white house, shoes left behind. When they couldn’t find the home right away, they took her to the fire station and called police.
By the end of the day, the child was back with her family. Walls later said it looked like an innocent accident, not neglect. She’s stayed in touch — invited to the little girl’s birthday party and named her unofficial godmother.
“It takes a village,” Walls said. “Thank God I was there at the right time.”
One person who stopped instead of driving past made all the difference.
Who else is inspired by everyday heroes like this?
Case Keenum has been in the NFL since 2012. Until Monday night, his two kids had never seen him play a game.
Not one. Not ever.
Here is what he said before kickoff.
"It means everything. It's incredible because we always say 'Keenum's can do hard things.' So we'll do some hard things tonight. And hopefully I can show them tonight how it's done."
He is 38 years old. He was the third quarterback on the Chicago Bears depth chart.
Caleb Williams was ruled out. Backup Tyson Bagent went into concussion protocol. So the job fell to the guy nobody expected to take another snap in his life.
It had been 1,009 days since Case Keenum started a regular season NFL game. The last one was Christmas Eve of 2023 with the Houston Texans.
His son Kyler was born in November of 2019. His daughter Cadence was born in April of 2021.
Which means Case Keenum has been an NFL quarterback for every single day that either of his children has been alive, and neither one of them had ever seen him play a game. Cadence was two years old the last time he started one.
He arrived at Soldier Field carrying what looked like a paper sack, dressed like a man on his way to a parent teacher conference. The internet had a wonderful time with it. Somebody said his wife must have packed him a lunch.
That wife is Kimberly. The family calls her the logistical ninja, because she is the one who has packed and unpacked their whole life through the Houston Texans, the Rams, the Minnesota Vikings, the Denver Broncos, Washington, the Cleveland Browns, the Buffalo Bills, Houston again, and now the Chicago Bears.
This is also the man who threw for 19,217 yards at Houston, which is still the most in the history of college football, and then went undrafted.
Then the game started.
24 of 34. 247 yards. Two touchdowns. No interceptions. Not sacked one time.
Eight yards to Luther Burden III in the first quarter. Forty one yards to Kalif Raymond in the third. Then in the fourth he kept it himself and walked it in from a yard out.
Three touchdowns from a third string quarterback.
Chicago Bears 27, Philadelphia Eagles 7.
When it ended he walked off hyping up the crowd in the north end zone, and the whole stadium stood up for him.
And then came the part nobody could have written.
Keenum went out to do his postgame interview on the SportsCenter set. His daughter came with him. Five years old, out on that stage next to her dad, waving at a stadium full of Chicago Bears fans who were still standing there cheering for him.
Fourteen years of practice squads and backup jobs and new cities and moving trucks.
He said it himself when he signed here. More than knowing how to get hit, he knows how to get back up.
The first NFL game his kids ever got to watch, their dad won it, and he scored three times doing it.
Keenums can do hard things.

Felicia Hambrick was babysitting her best friend’s three kids in Tacoma when the family’s pit bull suddenly attacked.
She was holding the 8-month-old baby when the dog knocked her to the floor.
Felicia curled her body around the baby and refused to let go.
She was bitten over and over on her arms, legs, stomach and neck, but she kept herself between the dog and the child the entire time.
The baby was never bitten once.
Felicia spent five days in the hospital and needed 94 staples to close her wounds.
She took the full force of that attack so someone else’s baby wouldn’t have to.
That is what a hero looks like.
Emmanuel Crawford was three years old when his parents sold him.
They lived in Ghana and they were poor enough that they could not feed him. So he was sold into the fishing trade on Lake Volta, which is where a lot of Ghana's trafficked children end up.
Here is what a three year old does out there.
He sits in a leaky wooden canoe and bails water out of it by hand, all day, so the boat does not sink.
And when the nets get caught, he goes in after them.
Lake Volta is man made. They dammed a river and flooded a forest to build it, and the trees are still down there, standing dead under the water. The nets snag on the branches, and somebody small has to dive down into water you cannot see through and pull them loose.
Children drown doing that. Regularly.
Crawford did it for two years.
He was five when a man working with a rescue organization came across his canoe out on the lake.
Crawford has described it simply.
"He felt a tug on his heart from the Lord, that this kid doesn't need to be here."
He was taken to a home in Tema, Ghana, run by a nonprofit called Touch A Life that gets children out of the trade.
And that is where a couple from Grove, Oklahoma found him. Audrey and Stan Crawford.
"When I first met my mom, I jumped onto her, I just climbed her, and we were best friends from the very beginning."
The adoption took months. Then Audrey got on a plane and brought a six year old home to a town of about 6,000 people in northeast Oklahoma, where he became the youngest of six kids.
He remembers the first day.
"I had my first hamburger that day and fries. It was heaven on Earth."
Then he grew up and started playing football.
As a senior at Grove High School he carried the ball 230 times for 2,304 yards. That is 10 yards every single time he touched it. He scored 36 rushing touchdowns, caught 19 passes for 546 more yards and seven more scores, and Grove went 13-1.
He finished his career with 6,777 rushing yards.
That is the most anyone has ever run for in Oklahoma Class 5A history. Plus 93 rushing touchdowns.
They named him the 2022-23 Gatorade Oklahoma Football Player of the Year.
And then he went to Arkansas as a preferred walk-on.
No scholarship. The best football player in the state, walking on.
He got there partly because Sam Pittman, who was the Arkansas head coach at the time, went to Grove High School himself. Crawford's high school coach texted him about the kid.
"The only campus that I felt a real connection was Arkansas. On the car ride home, I was like, 'I know where I want to be.'"
He redshirted in 2023 and has been stuck behind a crowded backfield ever since. Pittman got fired after last season.
Crawford is still on the roster in Fayetteville. Number 21.
Still waiting on his carries.
He has waited for worse.
🚨INCREDIBLE: During a multi-vehicle collision on the Route 90 bridge in Ocean City, Maryland, a 2-year-old girl was ejected from a pickup truck, falling nearly 30 feet into the Assawoman Bay below.
Jonathan Bauer, who was driving across the bridge with his teenage daughter when the crash occurred, rushed over to inspect the wreckage. Looking down into the water, he saw the toddler floating face down and becoming unresponsive.
Without hesitation, Bauer instructed his daughter to flag down first responders, removed his shoes, and leapt off the bridge into the bay. He swam to the little girl, lifted her onto his shoulder, and patted her back until she coughed up water and began breathing again.
A passing pontoon boat quickly navigated toward them, pulling both Bauer and the toddler out of the water and transporting them to shore, where emergency personnel were waiting. The child was airlifted to a regional medical center for evaluation and released the following day in good condition.
Bauer was later honored by local law enforcement and civic leaders for his decisive actions and selflessness.
First trailer for the Norm Macdonald documentary — directed by Judd Apatow.
Releasing October 16 on Netflix.
This is the greatest video ever.
This pic isn't a warning to us. It's a warning to other countries. We will take your smartest, hardest-working citizens and turn them into Americans. We're a machine and you can't stop us. Look upon our soft power and despair.
