Agree, I saw the two guns on the news too.
The kid was suicidal it was reported also.
Do you know what pushed him over the line to flip out and bring a pellet gun to school and do what he did?
Last I heard he was in critical condition.
Tough call in a moments notice for the SWAT team.
Also if they were at any distance it would be visually difficult to discern the type of gun being so similiar to the 9mm version.
But if he threatened to blow up a bus last year, the young man has some serious issues. I pray he survives and gets help.
