Kaylub Giamanco, the hero father who took down the Bend, Oregon, elementary school shooter last week has told his own story.
Giamanco, with two children at the school, heard shooting, saw a boy carrying a weapon into the school, and decided he would not be a bystander.
“I started hearing children PLEADING for their lives. And then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I told myself, this is probably the last thing that I’m ever going to do.”
“I have to go in. People are going to die.”
“I crawled through the bottom window that was shot out and continued onto the rug inside where there’s a little breezeway with stairs.”
“And then the special needs classroom was to my left. At that point, I was on the ground on my hands and knees. I re-racked my weapon to make sure that a live round came so that I knew that I was ready to go.”
“And then I peeked through the window. And at this point I found my opportunity. And I’d seen a teacher on the left struggling with the gunman on the right with the rifle.”
“And I knew that they were on both sides of me, and I knew that he did not know that I was there. And so at that point I swung the door out and open and I stepped in and I fired.”

WND had documented only a day earlier reports that investigators were looking into the influence of a violence-promoting satanic cult on the shooter.
According to my sourcing, federal investigators are seeking to confirm whether the 16-year-old Bend, Ore. school sh—ter (Griffin John), who killed four women and children, was radicalized by the 764 terror cult. This is a leading suspicion.

A report from PJMedia cited revelations from independent reporter Andy Ngo as well as Oregon Public Broadcasting that were saying investigators are following leads to determine if the shooter was associated with the “notorious 764 cult.”
A former special education student at Silver Rail Elementary School identified by authorities as Griffin J. John II, 16, shot his way through a school-shooter deterrent door and killed three children, ages 5, 7, and 11, and a 25-year-old teacher.
JUST IN: The heroic bystander who took down a 16-year-old gunman during a deadly Oregon elementary school shooting has been identified as 36-year-old Kaylub Giamanco.
