Full Title:

Teacher tried to stop shooting at Washington state high school, while weapon is recovered

Judging from the article, I think they meant "while weapon is reloaded".


Another Gun-Free Zone

If just one teacher in the lunchroom was properly trained and carrying a firearm, this tragedy could have ben prevented.

Liberalism is killing us and our kids!

At least lives would have been saved. Shooter would likely still get first shots off. Prevented....no. Unless good guy with gun was paying absolutely 100% attention.

“...first-year social studies teacher Megan Silberberger intervened in the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.”

First - *APPLAUSE*

Second - The LefTard Gun Grabbers are going to make her life a living HELL, so let’s keep tabs on her, shall we?

That female teacher probably has more testosterone than all of the male teachers at that school COMBINED.

You go girl!

How brave and selfless. She is a true first responder, running to and not from danger. Would that I will do the same if called.

A lesson from the past: if a fact is not useful to advance the liberal agenda, it never is worth mentioning.

Here is what I wrote about Columbine:

During the Columbine massacre, in which 15 people were murdered and 21 injured, a total of four firearms were involved. The murderers also employed four knives and 99 explosive devices.

Of the firearms, only one qualified under the 1984 federal law as a banned “assault rifle”. One firearm was a doubled barreled shotgun with a shortened barrel. It has long been a federal felony to saw down the barrel of a shotgun and it was also a felony to possess such an altered weapon.

Every single explosive device was a federal and state felony to assemble, possess and use, and to use in the commission of a crime.

If the memory of Columbine is ever brought up today, the failure of the law to stop the use of explosives in a school massacre is never mentioned. It is never mentioned because that gets in the way of a Gollum-like fixation on the Precious, starting with the banning of certain firearms and certain accessories but to eventually to banning all firearms.

I read an account of the teachers actions. She tried the grab the gun hand, but the student was able to escape her grasp. He then committed suicide.

It seems unlikely that he was attempting to reload. He only fired five or six shots. The handgun is described as a .40 caliber Beretta.

As he shot himself after the teacher intervened, He obviously had at least one round left in the pistol.

It is pretty clearly a domestic case, even if he was only 15 years old.

Very sad.

If she had a gun and knew how to use it the headline would read differently.

From this:

Teacher tried to stop shooting at Washington state high school

To This:

Teacher stopped shooting at Washington state high school
