Investigators said the single shot fired by Rollins hit both Willey and Barnes.
Banning bump stocks and high capacity magazines will certainly prevent THAT! /sarc

Austin Rollins, 17, shot himself in the head when he was confronted by school resource officer Blaine Gaskill Irrelevant. Had Mr. Gaskill not confronted Rollins, the shooting would most likely have continued.

Symantics.
Good guy with gun confronts bad guy with gun.
Bad guy takes himself out instead of giving the Good Guy (who, by the way, offered the bad guy a chance to live) the opportunity.
So yes, NYT, the Good Guy with a Gun DID stop this.

A distinction without a difference.

The media spin is disgusting. He shot himself BECAUSE he was confronted by an armed good guy.

The good guy DID shot the shooter. May not have killem him, but so what? He stopped him.
Can you imagine the carnage if there was no officer with a gun on campus?
To: ChicagoConservative27
Stoopid stoopid headline..... obviously the shootings could have continued had the officer not confronted the shooter. The “intervention” of the “armed good guy” was every bit as crucial whether or not the good guy fired the shot.

Another example of how agitated wimps wilt quickly when confronted.

Close enough for me. He would not have suicided if he had not been threatened.

? for the Hog Wild Useles Idiots .
Would he have shot himself in the head if that cop didnt have a bead on him ?
Kinda doubt it
To: ChicagoConservative27
A shot Gaskill fired struck the Glock handgun in Rollins hand. Before or after Rollins "shot himself in the head"?

The teen girl was left brain-dead and taken off life support two days after the attack. That is a shame. I had not heard this.

It’s a double win. The officer will not have the guilt of having shot a kid no matter how badly he needed to be put down and the kid will not get into Heaven because he offed himself.
To: ChicagoConservative27
Wait, seriously ?!? 😒 The good guy shot and hit the gunmans gun ?!? A shot Gaskill fired struck the Glock handgun in Rollins hand. That must have been some (lucky) shot !!!

The most important fact: Rollins did not harm anyone else after he was confronted by the officer.
To: CGASMIA68
The Resources officer pursued, confronted, and fired. Everything else is irrelevant. He did his job, he protected the lives around him, and knowingly put his life in jeopardy for the benefit of others.
Well done.

Had Mr. Gaskill not confronted Rollins, the shooting would most likely have continued.
Exactly right. A good-guy with a gun doesn't necessarily have to actually shoot the bad-guy to stop him. Often times, just showing up and presenting the willingness and capability to use deadly force is enough to end it.
