A shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, resulted in the deaths of three students and one teacher. The 16-year-old gunman, identified as Griffin J. John II, was fatally shot by Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old father whose daughters attend the school. Giamanco, a carpenter, used a legally owned .40-caliber pistol to intervene after hearing shots and witnessing a teacher struggling with the attacker.

Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz also commended a teacher who attempted to disarm the gunman by throwing her cellphone at him and tackling him. While the shooter was killed, the incident left two others injured, including a 54-year-old educational assistant and a seven-year-old child.

President Donald Trump praised Giamanco as a “great hero” for his actions, stating that his intervention likely prevented further loss of life. The President announced plans to invite Giamanco to the White House to receive a civilian bravery honor.
