BEND, United States: The "hero" who shot dead a teenage gunman after he had already killed three children and a teacher at an elementary school was named Friday, as the US entered a familiar – and likely fruitless – debate about gun control in the wake of the latest tragedy.
Kaylub Giamanco raced into Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, after the shooter, identified by local media as 16-year-old John J. Griffin II, blasted his way through locked doors and opened fire on youngsters.
Kyle Giamanco said 36-year-old Kaylub, who has two children at the school, was driving home for his lunch break on Thursday when he heard gunshots and saw Griffin going into the special education room of the school.
