What the coverage shows
All four outlets focus on Kaylub Giamanco and his first public account of stopping the Oregon school shooter, with The Independent, the New York Times, and The Guardian all using his quoted line, “I have to go in.” The Independent frames him as a “hero dad” and emphasizes the children “pleading for their lives,” while CNN instead foregrounds the phone call he made to his mother after the incident. The Guardian’s extract is the only one that explicitly mentions the shooter killed three boys and one teacher.
