A frantic 911 call from the man who shot dead a 16-year-old gunman at an Oregon elementary school has been released.
Authorities released a 911 call on Tuesday from Kaylub Giamanco, who shot dead a 16-year-old gunman at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon on 15 October. The gunman had killed three children and a teacher in a special needs classroom, with another student critically injured and a teacher hospitalised.
In the call lasting just over a minute, Giamanco reported 'someone with a gun' at the school his daughter attended. Driving home for lunch when he saw the shooter, Giamanco told the operator 'I have a gun and I will shoot them right now.' The operator urged him not to take action and to wait for police, but Giamanco sounded increasingly frustrated during the exchange, saying 'I'm about to go kill this kid.' A few seconds later he reported the shooter entering the building.
Giamanco entered the school through an open window, opened the door of the special needs classroom and fired his gun, killing the shooter, identified as Griffin J. John II. A teacher had attempted to stop the gunman before Giamanco's intervention.
