Authorities have released a 911 call from the man who fatally shot a 16-year-old gunman during an attack at an Oregon elementary school.

Authorities have released a 911 call from Kaylub Giamanco, who fatally shot a 16-year-old gunman during an attack at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon on 15 October. Giamanco was driving home for lunch when he saw the shooter at the school.

In the frantic call lasting just over a minute, Giamanco told the 911 operator there was 'someone with a gun' at the school his daughter attends. He told the operator 'I have a gun and I will shoot them right now'. The operator urged him not to do anything and to let officers respond. Giamanco became increasingly frustrated during the exchange, saying 'I'm about to go kill this kid', and a few seconds later reported that the shooter was entering the building. The call ended shortly after.

The 16-year-old shooter killed three children and a teacher in a special needs classroom, with another student critically injured and a teacher injured and hospitalised. A teacher attempted to stop the shooter before Giamanco entered the school through an open window, opened the door of the classroom and fired his gun, dropping the shooter to the floor.
