Father Stops Oregon School Shooter, Resulting in Multiple Fatalities and InjuriesPreviousNext

A 16-year-old shooter opened fire at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, killing three children and a teacher, and injuring others. The shooter, John J. Griffin II, was fatally shot by Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old father and carpenter who holds a concealed weapon permit. Giamanco intervened after hearing gunshots while passing by the school. Griffin's mother described him as a "good boy" and acknowledged the tragedy. A GoFundMe has been launched to support Giamanco and his family amid the community's grief and recovery efforts.
