The man police in Bend, Oregon, said “neutralized” the gunman in Thursday’s deadly shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School has been identified as 36-year-old Kaylub Giamanco, a law enforcement source confirmed to News Outlet. The attack killed three children and a teacher.

At a news conference Friday, police identified the slain teacher as 25-year-old Meghan Lambert. Officials also said one of the youngest victims was 5-year-old Rhoam Summer.

“Meghan was compassionate and had a huge heart. She always fought for the underdog and those with special needs,” Lambert’s family said in a statement read during the news conference. “She was an incredible sister, daughter, niece and granddaughter. Her friends became her family.”

Lambert’s family also expressed gratitude to the bystander who intervened, saying they understood he was enduring a difficult time and considered him a hero. “You selflessly put yourself at risk for others,” the family said, adding that the other victims’ families remained in their thoughts and prayers. “Meghan loved those children, and so we will show you love for her.”
