An Oregon father who rushed into his daughters’ elementary school and shot a gunman can be heard making a desperate vow in newly released 911 audio, telling a dispatcher, “I have a gun and I will shoot them right now.”
Kaylub Giamancos call captures the urgency outside Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend on Oct. 15, before the armed father intervened to stop an attack that killed three children and a teacher.
“Oh my god. Hello 911. Someones at the school. My daughters school with a gun,” Giamanco says in the recording released by the Deschutes 911 Service District.
The dispatcher urges him to wait for police.
“Okay, tell me exactly what happened. Dont do anything. Let me get an officer there, okay?” the dispatcher responds. “Okay, I understand. Stay on the line with me.”

“Thats when 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 Im ever going to do,” he told the outlet.
Giamanco entered the school with a .40-caliber pistol he legally kept in his vehicle and found a teacher struggling with the 16-year-old attacker, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said during an Oct. 16 news conference. The teacher had thrown her cellphone at the gunman and tackled him before Giamanco shot him multiple times, according to the chief.
