The brave dad who killed Oregon elementary school šhσσtєr Griffin John stalked the teen ɠυɳɱαɳ and army crawled through a school window to end his rampage, the hero’s mother revealed.
Kaylub Giamaco, whose two daughters attend Silver Rail Elementary School, was heading home from his lunch break when he heard gunshots and saw John, 16, entering the building on Thursday around 1 p.m.
Giamaco’s proud mom, Kenda Freeman, told CBS News that her son didn’t hesitate to jump into life-saving action to stop the maniac ɠυɳɱαɳ from 𝘬iᩚlling more helpless victims.

“Kaylub knew something was not right, so he pulled up onto the grass, grabbed his gun and basically stalked the ɠυɳɱαɳ back into the school,” she told the outlet.
“He crawled through a window that the ɠυɳɱαɳ had shot out. He army crawled through the window.”
In a heart-pounding call to his mother immediately after, Giamaco said: “Mom, I just shot and killed somebody. A man went into my daughters school and shot kids. And I looked at him point-blank, and I shot and killed him, Mom.”
John killed three students — 5-year-old Rhoam Summer, an 8-year-old, and an 11-year-old — and teacher Megan Lambert, 25.
A 7-year-old, Saylor Graham, and a 54-year-old teacher, Becky Drury, were critically injured in the gunfire.
While Giamaco’s admirable act saved many lives, his mother said her son is traumatized that there wasn’t more he could do.
“I told him he was a hero, he did what he had to do, and that he did the right thing, and that I was proud of him and that he was a hero and he saved a lot of lives,” Freeman said. “And he said, ‘Mom, I couldn’t save them all’.”
“It’s tough because, well, I’m thankful that my babies are OK. There are babies that are not, and that’s hard to swallow because my heart goes out to those families that didn’t get to bring their babies home,” the tearful grandma explained.

Giamanco, who legally owns and carries his w𝔢𝔞𝔭𝔬η, doesn’t wish to speak about the school śh́óóting because he feels riddled with guilt for not being able to save more lives, his brother, Kyle Giamanco, said.
