The person who took down the gunman at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as Kaylub Giamanco, his brother, Kyle Giamanco, confirmed to NBC News.

Kaylub Giamanco is a carpenter and a father of two girls who attend Silver Rail Elementary. Despite rumors, Kyle Giamanco said his brother was not picking his children up from school at the time — he was driving home for his lunch break and heard gunshots before he saw the gunman go into the school.

Kyle Giamanco said his brother owns a concealed weapon and decided to go in after the gunman, who he said went into the special education room.

Several parents have told NBC News the shooting happened in the special education classroom, which explains why the victims are of different ages. Police have not confirmed that.

Happy
I think this is something that is instilled in us from a young age. We are told repeatedly "you are what you eat" or "you reap what you sow." This quote in turn makes perfect sense to me. Have you ever been around someone that radiates a certain quality you would like to have? For them they don't even notice it, it is just a part of their day to day life. This week I'm going to focus on excellence myself. It is something I hear all the time in the Air Force, as it is one of our core values, "Excellence in all we do." This week keep a promise you've made to yourself or someone else, reflect at the end of your day, or just do something the right way the first time instead of pushing it off or rushing through it. Excellence is in all of us. Have an amazing week!
