Atlanta, GA, October 16, 2026 —

President Donald Trump praised Kaylub Giamanco, a father who intervened during a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, and stopped the 16-year-old shooter, according to the account provided.

The incident resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries. The number of people killed or injured, their identities and the date of the shooting were not provided. The account also does not specify how Giamanco confronted the shooter or provide further details about what happened at the school.

Giamanco is described as a father, but no additional information about him or his connection to the school was included. The account does not identify the shooter or provide information about the circumstances leading up to the incident.

Trump’s praise is the only response by a public figure described in the information available. No statement from Giamanco, school officials, law enforcement or families affected by the shooting was provided. The account does not say whether authorities released further information about the incident or what happened after the shooter was stopped.

With those details absent, the available information establishes only that a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School caused multiple fatalities and injuries, that a 16-year-old was identified as the shooter, and that Giamanco intervened and stopped him. The specific toll and other circumstances remain unspecified in the account.
