Dad who stopped Oregon school shooting details moment he killed gunman: "He had taken the lives of innocent little babies"
Kaylub Giamanco says he followed the gunman into the school and felt compelled to act after seeing children and teachers under fire.
- On October 15, carpenter Kaylub Giamanco, 36, fatally shot 16-year-old Griffin J. John II at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, stopping an active shooting after witnessing the teen fire at a passing vehicle.
- Before Giamanco intervened, the assailant had killed three children—ages 5, 8, and 11—and teacher Megan Lambert, 25, while struggling with educator Cassidy Schutz, whose intervention created the opening Giamanco needed.
- During his first network interview on 'CBS Mornings' Tuesday, Giamanco described his 'fight or flight' response triggering 'mission mode,' which allowed him to enter after teacher Schutz's struggle distracted the shooter.
- Giamanco revealed he suffers auditory flashbacks of children pleading for their lives, experiencing 'mixed feelings' upon reuniting with his own daughters, 5 and 10, grateful they survived unharmed.
- As Bend-La Pine Schools reopens Thursday, November 12, with enhanced security, policy director Lindsay Nichols of Giffords argues that relying on armed bystanders cannot replace comprehensive gun safety legislation.
