"The shooter has been neutralized, possibly shot by a father at the school." That line from a police dispatcher, still uncertain in the first minutes, is where Inside Edition's report on the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, begins to take shape.

The father was Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old carpenter. According to the report, a 16-year-old gunman opened fire inside the school, killing three students and a teacher. Giamanco ran into the building moments later and shot the attacker dead.

His family has since released a statement thanking first responders and the community, and declining personal recognition. The segment, introduced by Eva Pilgrim with reporting from Justin Finch, also hears from a young student who describes locking the classroom door and hiding behind the lockers with his teacher and classmates as the shots rang out. Outside, parents waited as children were brought out and reunited with their families.

The report closes on prevention: security expert Robert Strang urges gun owners to keep their weapons locked away from troubled family members.

The video drew about 1.4 million views in its first day, far beyond what the program's regular uploads usually reach, and comments arrived around fifty times faster than usual. Among the most repeated messages is a request to respect the father's wish to be left alone.
