‼️ MOTHER OF 16-YEAR-OLD OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER INSISTS HE WAS A “GOOD BOY” AFTER HE KILLED THREE CHILDREN AND A TEACHER The mother of the 16-year-old gunman responsible for Thursday’s horrific elementary school shooting in Bend, Oregon, is speaking out, insisting her son was a good boy despite the unimaginable violence that left four innocent people dead. John J. Griffin II, 16, has been identified as the teenager who opened fire at Silver Rail Elementary School on October 15, killing three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, along with a teacher. A 7-year-old student and another teacher, 54, were critically injured. According to the New York Post, Griffin’s mother broke down in tears while discussing her son, describing him as a good boy and struggling to reconcile the child she knew with the horrific acts he allegedly committed. But another disturbing detail has emerged about the weapon used in the massacre. According to NBC News, two senior law enforcement officials confirmed that Griffin’s mother purchased the firearm he used in the shooting around his birthday in August, just two months before the attack. The weapon was reportedly a pump-action shotgun. Authorities have not publicly established whether the firearm was specifically intended as a birthday gift or explained how Griffin gained access to it on the day of the shooting. Investigators say the teenager arrived at Silver Rail Elementary shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday and began firing. He reportedly shot through locked school doors to force his way inside, where children and teachers were going about their normal school day. Among those killed was 5-year-old Rhoam Summer, a kindergartener whose family is now preparing to bury their little boy instead of watching him grow up. Two other children, ages 8 and 11, and a teacher also lost their lives. The massacre might have claimed even more victims if not for the actions of 36-year-old Kaylub Giamanco, a local father whose two daughters attend the elementary school. Giamanco was reportedly driving home during his lunch break when he heard gunfire. Armed with a legally carried concealed weapon, he pursued the teenager into the school and fatally shot him, bringing the rampage to an end. Despite being credited with saving lives, Giamanco is reportedly struggling emotionally with what happened and does not consider himself a hero. Meanwhile, investigators are examining Griffin’s electronic devices, internet searches and social media activity to determine whether he had an interest in previous mass shootings or other acts of violence. Authorities have not announced a motive or established whether Griffin had any personal connection to Silver Rail Elementary School. While Griffin’s mother remembers him as a good boy, four families are now mourning loved ones who will never come home. #crime #truecrime #news #viral #oregon
