Here is inspiring video of a Mississippi High School Quarterback who potentially saved 22 children on a school bus by tackling a 14 year-old girl wielding a loaded gun and threatening to kill students.
Kaleb Eulls was on the bus, and when he realized she had the gun he tackled the girl getting the gun away from her. He is now being hailed as a hero for his bravery.
The video is grainy, but shows him tackling the girl, and also contains an interview with the hero. . . . (Watch Video)

Good story.
that’s one brave young man, I would fly with him anytime
The video showed all except a split 2nd when Kaleb the QB was able to subdue the girl, which was partially blocked. Still a good call on his part. What’s unusual is that the kid wears glasses and he could sling that rock to a WR.
Sure he saved lives, but does that excuse tackling a girl? I would classify this as torture. I think the Obama administration needs to investigate this kid to see if he broke any laws.
Wow! The good lord was present that day. It was good to hear that, the risk that young man took wasn’t for nothing, getting a scholarship next year and all.
AWESOME TO READ GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE!
I don’t think the guy’s a quarterback. I thought I read that he is a defensive lineman, but I could be confusing football stories.
Hear, hear!
Is he going to be prosecuted?
He’s a 4-star rated defensive end.
Way to go, Kaleb!! A true American hero!
Thank God for young men such as this!!!
he plays on both sides of the ball.

Surveillance video from the school bus shows that the girl had stood up earlier, taken out a cheap, chrome-plated .38 automatic handgun, slid a clip with five rounds of ammunition in it, and started walking up and down the aisle of the bus, brandishing the weapon.
“All I can tell from looking at the video is that she was very irate, and she was mad at somebody on the bus that she stated had been picking on her or messing with her,” said Yazoo County Sheriff Thomas Vaughan, who joined Eulls for the interview. “I don’t know what she was doing with the gun, but the way she was pointing it at everybody, if it would have went off even one time, it would have been very sad for some family.”
Winning play: Football hero disarms girl on bus
What a great story and even greater young man!
I assume the QB has been suspended for fighting...
Great story....great actions by this QB. Well done!!
