JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco. Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots. After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school. He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom. Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face. The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital. Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11. According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children. You are a hero, Kalub.

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Local coalition says Santa Monica Library tested POSITIVE for E-Coli and fecal matter on multiple surfaces like keyboards and tables. Residents say their public library has essentially become a HOMELESS SHELTER, raising serious concerns about public health and safety. Residents and library workers have also raised allegations of open drug use, pornography, and sexual activity inside the building. Public libraries should be safe, clean spaces for families and residents, yet homelessness-related problems like drug use and unsanitary conditions inside Santa Monica's library have prompted calls for city officials to restore cleaniness, accountability, and safety to the library.
