The teacher, Michael Landsberry, was a veteran, and a witness told the Reno Gazette-Journal that the student shot Landsberry after he ordered him to put down the weapon.

Several unanswered questions:

Where and how did this 12 -14 year old get a handgun?

Was he now or has he ever been treated with ADD drugs or antidepressants?

Did he ever make any threats on any social media sites?

I'm sure the media is working hard to answer these questions. /Sarcasm>

That is bad.

There’s a man who should have been allowed to be armed.

I was just in Chattanooga 2 weeks ago. Lookout Mt and a certain gorge that was spectacular.

THat Marine reminds me of some missionaries who went to South America to try and contact some badass tribes. The son of one of them asked them if they would shoot the Indians if they attacked them. They carried a rifle but the father told the son.....no. When asked why, the father said...”well son, we are ready to die, they are not”.
