Kaylub Giamanco, 36, who owns a concealed weapon, bravely pursued teen gunman John J. Griffin into the school building’s special education room and fatally shot him, his brother described.
Despite being credited by authorities with saving lives, Kaylub Giamanco does not want to speak out because he doesn’t feel like a hero and is riddled with guilt for not saving more people, according to his sibling.
Griffin, 16, was armed with his mom’s pump-action shotgun when he opened fire inside the Bend school — killing three children, aged 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher.
