π¨ HERO - Kaylub Giamanco, the Concealed Carrying Father in Bend, Oregon who grabbed his Handgun and took out the Silver Rail Elementary School Shooter last week, just told his story for the first time. π While driving past the school around 1:00 PM on his way home for lunch, Mr. Giamanco saw a 16-year-old Gunman dressed in black fire a Shotgun outside the school and climb over the fence toward the building. Giamanco pulled his legally owned .40-Caliber Handgun from his truck console, called 911 as he pulled into the parking lot, and told the dispatcher: "I'm sorry, I have to go in. People are going to die." "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 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 out so that I knew that I was ready to go." Police say the Maniac Shooter still had roughly 44 Shotgun Shells left when a brave Teacher tackled him and Giamanco ended the threat for good. Both that fearless Teacher and Kaylub Giamanco are TRUE American Heroes who saved countless children's lives—Giamanco (and the teacher) should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom IMMEDIATELY! πΊπΈ Every time anti-gun Democrats lecture law-abiding Citizens that nobody "needs" to carry a firearm, remember what happened in Bend while they have armed security. CONCEALED CARRY SAVES LIVES! ππ½ https://t.co/VN4bm4kDlI

Amidst Bloodhsed, A True Hero Steps Forward!
AMAZING!
It's being reported that President Trump gave a BIG shoutout to armed hero Kaylub Giamanco who ran into an Oregon school and NEUTRALIZED a shooter. Well, let's say it bluntly: he shot him dead, preventing the loss of additional lives amidst a massacre.
Apparently Giamanco was nearby, had a concealed carry permit, ran into the school and did what he knew he had to do.
President Trump rightly called this local carpenter, the father of two girls who are students at the school, a hero!
"Thank GOODNESS for a man that had a gun and knew how to use it." "There was a great hero, and as bad as it was, we had a GREAT HERO that went in and did the business . . . He took care of business."Oregon Hero Shot Killer; Saved Lives!

VIDEO: Women Clancy Jurors Speak Up!
"He would not interact with us... He had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children."
Well, DUH!
These women jurors wanted the lone male holdout to "interact" with them -- maybe, you know, try a bit of yoga or sing Kumbaya or hold hands in some sort sort of peace circle.
But he wouldn't interact because there was just one tiny little problem: he just couldn't get beyond the fact that the defendant viciously murdered her three innocent little children -- that she murdered them in the most brutal and horrific way imaginable.
Good for him!
And God help the rest of us and our nation.
Harridans, the whole lot... and two swishy men. Only the lone holdout can be proud of what he did! https://t.co/xO9Io3FWMe
