A father of two is being hailed as a hero after running toward gunfire and stopping a deadly school shooting in Oregon.
Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old carpenter, was driving home for lunch Thursday when he heard gunshots near Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, where his two daughters attend.
Armed with a legally carried fi***rm, Giamanco pursued the teenage gunman into the school and fatally shot him, ending the attack.
Tragically, three children and a teacher were killed, and two others were critically injured.
Despite being credited with saving lives, Giamanco reportedly doesn't consider himself a hero. His brother says he's struggling with guilt over not being able to save more children.
Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Bend community.
