It is a movie based on the true story. The heroes portray themselves in the movie.

Thanks. I am benighted in flyover country, and don't follow Hollywood.

“It is a movie based on the true story. The heroes portray themselves in the movie.”

Yesterday I was talking about and researching to remember the rapid response by two detectives in suit coats armed with pistols that tossed all of their “planning” out the window as soon as they got to the school and saw the shooter. Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, OR. The detectives wounded him within a minute of arriving, then the shooter went into a room and killed himself. The detectives were there about 6 minutes after the first 911 call - ten dead by the time they arrived.

One hero was a former Army Vet, student Chris Mintz. He blocked a doorway and told the shooter no way he was getting into the classroom. Mintz was shot 5 times and survived - and the shooter didn’t go in the room.

Another person was supposed to be attending class at the school that day as well. (First day of classes iirc). His name is Alek Skalatos (sp?). But he was delayed in France - giving interviews about him and his buddies stopping the terrorist attack on the train!

Sounds like Roseburg raises men!
