Suspect Ryan Eagon Fatally Shoots Son, Stepson, and Dustin Willey Before Taking His Own Life in Tiffin
On November 19, 2025, at approximately 6:24 p.m., officers with the Tiffin Police Department responded to a report of gunfire and screaming in the 100 block of Huss Street.
Upon arrival, officers located several victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Preliminary findings indicate the incident occurred during an attempt by the mother of two children to remove personal belongings from the residence due to ongoing domestic conflict.
Prior arrangements had been made with Dustin Willey, 29, the father of her oldest child, to assist with the move while her husband, Ryan Eagon, 42, was believed to be out of town for work.
According to the investigation, the mother and Dustin were inside the home gathering belongings while the two children—ages 7 years and 7 months—remained outside near a vehicle. After hearing the older child cry out, they went outside and observed Ryan Eagon in the driveway.
Based on witness statements and physical evidence, Eagon immediately pursued Dustin, pushing past the mother and firing multiple rounds. He then turned the firearm toward the children, fatally shooting both, before continuing to fire at Dustin.
Following the shootings, Eagon died from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The mother reported that she carried the injured children back into the home while awaiting first responders.
Officers and Tiffin Fire and Rescue provided emergency medical care at the scene.
Dustin Willey was transported to Tiffin Mercy Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The 7-month-old infant and Ryan Eagon were pronounced deceased at the scene.
The 7-year-old child was transported to a medical facility but later succumbed to his injuries.
No officers discharged their weapons, and no law enforcement personnel were injured.
The children’s mother—who was present during the entirety of the incident—placed the emergency call.
This remains an active investigation with assistance from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Seneca County Coroner’s Office.
Autopsies are pending.
The Tiffin Police Department recognizes the tragic impact of this event on the families involved, first responders, medical professionals, schools, and the broader community. Grief and counseling resources are being coordinated for those affected.
Carrie Greene, shared the following public account describing the devastation felt by the family:
“I watched my grandson take his first breath seven years ago, and last night, I watched him take his last. My daughter, Raven Broski, held him, comforting him and telling him he could let go. His beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes could still be seen through his bloodied face.”
She explained that her daughter was attempting to leave a domestic violence situation and had been packing belongings with the help of Dustin Willey when the attack occurred.
“Ryan Eagon — my daughter’s husband, the stepfather to Wrenn and father to baby August — parked down the street and entered the house without warning. He immediately shot and killed Dustin, then shot my 7-year-old grandson Wrenn three times, and then shot 7-month-old August in the head while he sat in his car seat. My daughter begged him to kill her too, but instead, he turned the gun on himself.”
Carrie described Dustin as an exceptional father and deeply caring person, saying:
“Regardless of the ups and downs between him and Raven, I always loved him like a son. He was dedicated to protecting his child and the people he cared about.”
She also shared memories of the children:
- Wrenn, age 7, was intelligent, energetic, funny, and recently celebrated his birthday on November 14.
- August, the infant, was described as affectionate and joyful, and had recently begun saying “mom.”
Carrie continued:
“My daughter is the best mother I know. All she ever wanted was to stay home and love her babies. Now she is shattered, and our family is devastated.”
She ended with a plea to others experiencing abuse:
“If you are in a domestic violence situation—please listen to your instincts. Leave. Now. And please keep my daughter, our family, and Dustin’s family in your prayers.”

Silver Rail Elementary School Shooting Suspect Identified as 16-Year-Old John Griffin, Who was shot and killed by Kaylub Giamanco
BEND, Oregon — The suspect in the deadly shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, has been identified in preliminary reports as 16-year-old John J. Griffin, according to information provided for this report. Kaylub Giamanco has also been identified in the supplied account as the bystander who reportedly confronted and shot the teenage suspect during the October 15, 2026, incident.
According to a family member who spoke with Channel2 NOW, Giamanco was returning home during his lunch break when he encountered the emergency near the school, where his two daughters reportedly attend classes. He lives nearby and allegedly rushed toward the school after hearing gunshots and realizing that children, including his daughters, could be in danger.
Giamanco’s reported intervention has prompted expressions of gratitude and calls for him to be recognized for his actions. However, the suspect’s identity, Giamanco’s role and the precise sequence of events should be confirmed through official statements before being presented as established facts.
The account provided to Channel2 NOW describes Giamanco as a father who was returning home during his lunch break when the shooting unfolded. After hearing gunfire near Silver Rail Elementary School, he reportedly saw the suspected shooter moving toward or entering the building.
Because his two daughters attended the school, Giamanco allegedly ran toward the scene rather than away from it. Preliminary accounts say he confronted the suspect and shot him, and the 16-year-old reportedly died.
The supplied information does not independently establish the exact location of the confrontation, the actions of those involved immediately beforehand or whether investigators have formally confirmed Giamanco’s identity as the person who shot the suspect.
Nevertheless, the account has drawn strong emotional reactions from people who view his reported actions as an attempt to protect his daughters and other children inside the school.
Some supporters have called for Giamanco to receive a medal or other formal recognition. Any official commendation, however, would need to be confirmed by the relevant authorities.
The supplied report identifies John J. Griffin, 16, as the suspected shooter in the Silver Rail Elementary School attack. The available information describes him as a Bend resident and alleges that a shotgun was used during the incident.
The reported circumstances surrounding Griffin’s death remain an important part of the investigation. Early accounts indicate that a bystander shot the suspect during the emergency, but investigators would need to confirm the individual’s identity and establish the precise sequence of events.
The suspect’s identification and the circumstances of the shooting should be attributed to law enforcement once an official statement is available.
The October 15 shooting prompted a major emergency response and left the community grieving. Preliminary information supplied for this report indicates that four victims—three children and one adult—were killed. The suspected shooter was also reported dead, bringing the reported total to five fatalities.
Five-year-old Rhoam Summer was identified in the supplied information as the first named victim. Two other children, reportedly ages 8 and 11, were also described as having died. An adult teacher was reported among the victims.
Two additional people—a 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher—were reportedly transported for medical treatment in critical condition.
The identities of the other victims, the final casualty figures and the latest conditions of the injured people require confirmation from law enforcement or the appropriate authorities. The information available for this article does not establish that the teacher who died was killed while protecting students, so that characterization should not be presented as confirmed.
Bend police reportedly issued an active-shooter alert at approximately 1:17 p.m. on Thursday, warning the public of a major law enforcement presence at Silver Rail Elementary School and urging people to avoid the surrounding area.
Police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel responded to the campus. Nearby schools, including Caldera High School and Jewell Elementary, were reportedly placed under lockdown as a precaution.
Authorities also designated Journey Church, located at 61303 S Highway 97 near Goodwill and Dairy Queen, as a family reunification location. Parents and guardians were directed there to reconnect with students and receive information during the emergency response.
The reported deaths of children and an adult educator have left families and the wider Bend community facing an immense tragedy. Rhoam Summer, just 5 years old, has become one of the first children named in the reports surrounding the shooting.
As the investigation continues, families are waiting for verified information and the opportunity to grieve their loved ones. Those affected by the shooting may also face a difficult period of emotional recovery.
Giamanco’s reported actions have added another dimension to the story, with supporters expressing gratitude for a father who allegedly rushed toward danger after hearing gunshots near the school attended by his daughters. His family’s experience and the well-being of his children also deserve consideration as details emerge.
🙏💔 Our thoughts are with the families of Rhoam Summer and the other reported victims, the injured child and teacher, and everyone affected by this devastating incident. May those who lost their lives rest in peace, and may their loved ones find strength and support during this heartbreaking time.
