What a great job by these construction workers. Their actions saved an untold number of lives.

Having been one all my life, Like most Americans, Most Construction workers,are those I would “ride the river with”.
I can hear the Plaintive Cry of the Libs now: WE MUST BAN GUNS NOW!!!

Thank God for those brave construction workers.

But I still have to ask, I thought schools were "gun free zones." How could a crazed gunman pull off this shooting in a place where it is illegal to carry a gun? /s

Several witnesses saw the gunman clad in black, running on the school grounds shortly after noon carrying a gas can and shooting at random during recess.

“He was dressed just like a bad guy,” in a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants, said neighbor Scott Chandler, who saw the violence unfold from his driveway near the schoolyard on Kelly and Riviera drives.

Chandler ran toward the school as fast as he could and caught up with two construction workers, Steven Kane and Mario Contreras, assigned to a cafeteria expansion project. They chased the gunman through the field and over a fence.

Carlos Partida, another construction worker, said he jumped into his black Ford F-150 pickup when his co-workers started chasing the gunman. Partida struck the man with his truck, knocking him to the ground, police said.

Partida, Kane and Contreras wrestled a .357 Magnum silver revolver with a wooden handle from O’Rourke. Chandler said he noticed that one of the men was holding the gun and appeared ready to use it against the suspect.

“I said, ‘Dude, put the gun down,’ ” Chandler said.

Was this the lone liberal talking to the press about the story? They had to add how this guy bravely stopped the REAL heroes from keeping this mental case from ever shooting seven year old's again? Excuse me while I go throw something.
