Thank God that there was an armed officer at the school and it wasn't a "gun-free zone." Besides the obvious (more armed & trained school officers / officials) what about metal detectors at the doors / entrances? Currently, only a small fraction of schools have metal detectors. See: Source: https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=334Won't be simple or easy, but my hunch is that it would be effective. You can't enter a Court House, a Federal Govt. Building or an Airport without going through a metal detector ..... unfortunately it seems we are at a time when schools should be added to that list.

>>The shooter exchanged fire with a school resource officer, a trained, armed deputy sheriff, Cameron said. The shooter was wounded; the officer was not.<<
Hard to say how many other kids this guy saved.

The antis are not working to directly disarm us, Not sure what planet you are on. But they have been trying to disarm us since the War Between the States. And getting progressively more blatant about it. Watch the left hand not the right. We will be gone, our children will be anti-gun.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Yours might. I gave my son an AR15 about 3 years ago. He hunts with it constantly!

Right on cue. Just posted about this, expect more any time. I was late!
They have to keep it fresh on everyone's mind. Yep.
...almost as if these shootings are orchestrated in some way. Almost huh? I used to poke fun at the folks with the tinfoil hats. We are a fun crowd. Now I own one. Salute! Welcome aboard!After an obvious pattern develops, coincidences are no longer a coincidence. It would be a real coincidence if these were random.

Prayers to the families of the innocent. No one should have to worry about their kid going to school.
Prayers and a word of thanks to the SRO who did it right and go into the fight. He certainly saved lives this day.
Here in this state, a bad one was thwarted when the kid decided not to do it yesterday. He had a "kill list" and when that was finished, he wanted to bring the school down on top of him. Stole guns from his grandpa and cut the barrels down as well as having made Moltov cocktails; all were ready to go, even told his siblings they better stay home from school. He got cold feet and told his parents. Parents told the cops and now he's sitting in jail, waiting to see if they're going to try him as an adult. Kid says he was bullied.

[quote=Redneck]...What jurisdiction does ATF have in this case? They can trace the gun. If they are invited in, they can move a lot faster than if an agency sends them a request and then have to wade through the bureaucracy to get the results. The ATF, unlike the FBI, don't take over when they come into a situation like this, they work with the agency to investigate and prosecute. Ed

It was just reported that the shooter shot himself.

what about metal detectors at the doors / entrances? Currently, only a small fraction of schools have metal detectors That would help the shooters a bunch. Queue all the kids up outside all the security as they wait to be scanned, and now they can be picked off without the shooter gaining access to the school at all.

The antis are not working to directly disarm us, they can wait us out, we're old or getting old, it's our children and grandchildren's generation they are after. If Facebook tells them guns are bad, they will believe it, and all the stuff you handed down or gave them will go o the scrap yard. Yep, They're persistent and patient. Socialists not too unlike the Muzzies and Commies... Birds of a feather... They're in it for the long haul, are willing to wait us ole farts out. They've indoctrinated the youth, taught the teachers in the left leaning colleges how to teach leftist propaganda, rewrite history, etc. DF

Well they certainly don't want an armed cop on campus stopping a crazed gunman, so yeah, he has to shoot himself, whether he actually shoots himself or not.

One of the reporters gave credit to the resource officer for engaging the shooter.
I'm shocked!

Great job on the resource officer doing his job with bravery. It sounds like he engaged the shooter instead of hiding and crying behind his cruiser.

Most of those shooters will kill themselves once they are confronted with armed response.
Evidently the SRO did fire at the shooter. Most sources say he wounded him, or hit the shooter with gunfire.
