Wire reporting: (AP, via Local 10)
Authorities on Tuesday released a 911 recording from the parent who fatally shot a 16-year-old during an Oct. 15 attack at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, according to Associated Press copy carried by multiple outlets1.
The wire said Kaylub Giamanco called while driving home for lunch after seeing a person with a gun at the school his daughter attends, told the dispatcher he was armed, and that the exchange lasted a little more than a minute before the line went dead1.
AP reported the dispatcher urged him to wait for an officer, while Giamanco indicated the gunman was going into the building and that shots were being fired1.
The Oct. 15 attack killed three children and a teacher in a special-needs classroom; another student was critically hurt and a teacher was injured, the wire said, identifying the 16-year-old as Griffin J. John II1.
According to the same report, a teacher tried to stop the gunman before Giamanco entered through an open window, opened a classroom door and fired, knocking the shooter down1.
The AP account did not say which agency released the recording, whether Giamanco faces charges, or how investigators treat his use of force1.
