Another School Shooting In The Us:maryland

[Jahulaye]

But this time the shooter was killed by Security so in essence the bad guy with a gun was killed by a good guy with a gun.

Any fans or haters of the NRA that want to comment?

'"In the hours to come, in the days to come, through detailed investigation, we will be able to determine if our school resource officer's round struck the shooter," the sheriff said, suggesting the assailant may have instead taken his own life'

Did you miss that bit?

[Mamyalynne]

Thank goodness more weren't hurt.

I thought they couldn't tell if he shot himself or the resource officer shot him?

[Jahulaye]

“Did you miss that bit?”

Yes I did actually.


“He pursued the shooter, engaged the shooter -- during that engagement, he fired a round at the shooter," Cameron said. "Simultaneously the shooter fired a round as well.”

So even if he never shot the shooter it was the fact that the shooter was shot at and knew his time was up then killed himself ( if he did) which probably wouldn’t have happened had the security not being armed and had engaged the shooter.

So my “so in essence the bad guy with a gun was killed by a good guy with a gun.“

Still stands but killed “indirectly with a twist”

I think this will just go on and on happening in the USA, sadly.

[Zacs-Master]

More unassailable 'logic' from you Julie. Well done.

I'm surprised you've not spun a conspiracy theory from the story.....Maybe the Govt made the FBI do it as they were being funded by the NRA?

[Mamyalynne]

There's time yet.

[Jahulaye]

Ermmm I think I’ll take the story as it’s face value but good luck with your theory.

[ToraToraTora]

sounds like an NRA put up job to me.

[Zacs-Master]

I thought that would be right up your alley.

[Zacs-Master]

See, Tora's on board!

Let’s say, for the purposes of debate, that the NRA’s twisted fantasy of ‘a bad guy with a gun being shot by a good guy with a gun’ is what actually happened here.

Is that really something America can boast about, and shout around as a triumph of gun control in action?

A teenager has died, and the man who shot him is going to have to live with that for the rest of his life.

This is not a Clint Eastwood movie, this is real life, actions taking seconds have consequences lasting lifetimes.

If this is what the NRA sees as a positive use of the weapons it sells to anyone with the money, then it is a pitiful excuse for an organisation that even thinks it can claim the moral high ground over this situation.

But they will, and President Trump is likely to echo their view.

They should all be deeply ashamed, but it appears that guns and shame and regret for a life lost is not in the NRA’s remit.

‘A teenager has died, and the man who shot him is going to have to live with that for the rest of his life’

Has this now been confirmed?

//the man who shot him is going to have to live with that for the rest of his life’//

Perhaps he’ll console himself with the thought that had he not shot the perpetrator even more lives would have been lost.

“Has this now been confirmed?”

NBC 6 minuted aho thinks so but they’re a media outle controlled by the controllers so meh.

“I think what he did was outrageously courageous and needed to be done,” said Willeford, an NRA gun instructor. “He’s a true hero who put his life on the line. I would love to meet him. I think that would be excellent.”

Asked if he had any advice for Gaskill now that he’s in the public eye, Willeford chuckled and said “no.”

“He’s another good guy with a gun,” he said, repeating a phrase that is part of the NRA's mantra about armed citizens being the only thing "that can stop a bad guy with a gun."

Willeford is not likely to get any argument on the good guy part from Gaskill’s boss, Sheriff Tim Cameron, or Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. Both have praised the 34-year-old “tough guy” for putting his own life on the line Tuesday.

“While it’s still tragic, he may have saved other people’s lives,” Hogan said of Gaskill in the aftermath of Tuesday’s shooting.

Gaskill has yet to make a public statement.”

They honestly talk as though this guy has won a round of golf!

What is wrong with these people?

[Jahulaye]

He knew the girl, got dumped by her, got his dads flock and shot her and a school colleague.

“The Maryland teenager who terrorized his high school used his father's gun to shoot a girl he'd just broken up with and another classmate, investigators said Wednesday.

Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, was later killed when he traded shots with the school resource officer at Great Mills High School, they said.

"Rollins and the female victim had a prior relationship that recently ended," the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "The handgun utilized by Rollins in the shooting was legally owned by Rollins' father."

Rollins' alleged target, 16-year-old Jaelynn Willey, remains in critical condition at a local hospital. But a 14-year-old boy who happened to be in a hallway when Rollins opened fire was released after being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg.”

Allow enough incidents and every now and again one might have a better ending than anticipated. Much better to prevent the incidents in the first place.

[Jahulaye]

For flock read GLOCK.


“They honestly talk as though this guy has won a round of golf!”

Cue high fives and beer sprayed all over him when he walks into an NRA bar and is congratulated for a “hole in one”

He had to do what he had to do but celebrating? Really? Sad.

Jahulaye, //Cue high fives and beer sprayed all over him when he walks into an NRA bar and is congratulated for a “hole in one” //

Did that happen?
