Kaylub Giamanco, who holds a concealed carry permit, fatally shot a gunman attacking a special education classroom at the Bend, Oregon elementary school his daughters attend. The carpenter, heading home for lunch, watched the attacker fire at a truck and a woman on the lawn, throw a gun over a fence, then after a 911 call retrieved his pistol and entered via a shot-out window amid pleading children and gunfire.

He saw a teacher grappling with the shotgun gunman, fired, and shot twice more when the man crawled toward the weapon; arriving police found Giamanco disarmed with hands up. He praises the unarmed teacher for the delay that let him shoot safely and mourns the children he could not save.
