Silver Rail community rallies around victims, families after shooting

As Silver Rail Elementary students returned to school on Thursday, victims and families directly impacted by the Oct. 15 tragedy continued on paths of grief and healing. There was a positive update earlier this week from the family of Becky Drury, the teacher injured in the attack. After multiple surgeries and more than three weeks in the hospital, Drury was able to return home earlier this week. Kaylub Giamanco, the Silver Rail dad who entered the school and shot the gunman, has also received attention and accolades nationwide following an appearance on the CBS morning show. Cassidy Schutz, the teacher who threw her phone at the gunman, tackled him and tried to wrestle away his gun, has not spoken publicly but was acknowledged by Giamanco in an interview with OPB as a “real true hero.” 7-year-old Saylor Graham, a Silver Rail student who was shot but survived, has been recovering with near-constant medical support.
