Hero Teacher at Sandy Hook
The Daily Beast ^ | 12-17-12 | Nina Strolich

When Victoria Soto heard gunfire ricocheting off the normally quiet hallways of Sandy Hook Elementary School, she didn’t run and hide. Instead, the 27-year-old teacher gathered her first-grade class into the closet and bravely placed herself between the young children and Adam Lanza, the heavily-armed shooter.

This brave teacher saved lives. She could have run and hid, but she didn't. We need more of her kind to face evil and protect the innocent

If only she had a gun at the time she might have saved herself and others too.

She was brave, but I can’t help thinking she could have saved more lives if she had a firearm.

Agreed on both counts. God rest her soul. No doubt she was well received.

She is a double victim. Once of the perp, and secondly of the Brady Campaign and their ilk.
