GOOD GUY WITH A GUN: Armed School Officer TAKES DOWN Shooter, Saves Lives

A lone gunman was shot and killed Tuesday morning after opening fire at a southeast Maryland high school; being stopped by a heroic armed security officer who engaged the shooter within seconds.

According to Fox News, the suspect is the only fatality; with one male and one female student injured during the ordeal.

“Our school resource officer was alerted to the event. he pursued the shooter, engaged the shooter, fired a round at the shooter,” St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron said. “The shooter fired a round as well. In the hours and days to come, we’ll be able to determine if our school resource officer’s round struck the shooter.”

The armed guard’s actions prevented the likely deaths of countless students and staff, and highlights President Trump’s recent push to “harden” America’s schools from future mass shootings.

The Commander-in-Chief called for armed teachers and more security guards in the wake of last months’ deadly attack on a south Florida high school; saying “We have to harden our schools, not soften them. A gun free zone to a killer, that’s like going in for ice cream.”

Probably a Republican school resource officer.

Who is DOING this? A Muslim? Antifa? David Hogg, of Parkland shooting TV fame? Or another loner?

[Dilbert San Diego]

This had a happy ending. Nice to hear.

[rktman]

But, but, but...............I thought he was supposed to wait for backup. Guess not so much huh?

[Mark]

SO, No signs warning the shooter that it was not a gun free zone?

Just saw on the news, resource officer responded in “seconds” after the first shot was fired.

“Who is DOING this? A Muslim? Antifa? David Hogg, of Parkland shooting TV fame? Or another loner?”

It’s just a coincidence.

TRUMP IS CORRECT!

Hopefully Trump awards the officer with a WH ceremony

I wonder why this hasn’t become viral with the gun control crowd?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

The next FReepathon starts in about two weeks.

We need to finish this one first.

Come on FReepers, let’s do this!

[Rurudyne]

Good, point. Clearly by not indicating armed personnel were on site it became a trap designed to fool would be mass killers that it was safe ... SPLC will get involved in a lawsuit any day now.

[factoryrat]

The leftists in Maryland are going to crucify this person for going above and beyond.

That’s how it’s done, snowflakes.

“The armed guard’s actions prevented the likely deaths of countless students and staff”

Yes and no.

This was a targeted shooting, not a mass shooting. At least it sure looks like it. Boyfriend-girlfriend shooting, and maybe the other boy just got in the way when the BF screwed up a shot.

Not every shooting is a mass murder. Which is why I don’t like all these stories automatically ending up national news when they really aren’t. Just your average shooting, much like thugs on the urban streets.

[the OlLine Rebel]

It’s a targeted shooting. There are shootings every day; this is not the mass murder the media assume/hope it to be.

[KC_for_Freedom]

Yes and no, we do not know how the rest of the event would have played out. Certainly he could have killed the officer, he did try.

Next, would he decide to kill anyone who ever hurt his feelings? Maybe a teacher who gave him a grade lower than he thought he deserved. Maybe he would have continued the “targeted” rampage, or maybe he would have just killed himself.

Since the answers to these questions are difficult to know, I believe the correct option was chosen by the law enforcement officer who was on the scene for this purpose.
