HIS NAME IS KAYLUB GIAMANCO. THE DAD WHO STOPPED THE OREGON SCHOOL GUNMAN.
Kaylub Giamanco, 36, is a carpenter and father of two daughters at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon.
He was driving home for lunch on Thursday when he heard gunshots. He saw a 16-year-old gunman storm into his daughters' school.
He didn't hesitate. He followed him inside to the special education classroom and fatally shot him, ending the attack before police arrived.
Four innocent lives were taken — three children ages 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher. A 7-year-old child and another teacher remain in critical condition.
Authorities say Kaylub's actions prevented even more deaths.
But his brother says Kaylub doesn't feel like a hero. He feels guilty because he couldn't save more.
He is traumatized. He is not seeking recognition. His family says he only wants to thank first responders and the community.
Please share his story. Pray for this father carrying a heavy burden, for the grieving families, and for those still fighting to recover.
What would you want Kaylub to hear today?
