Good for the teacher!

"Apparently someone entered the school with a .357, fired one or two shots into the air. Then Mr Olson apprehended him."

Looks like the kid had a revolver.

Looks like the kid had a revolver.

From what I saw on social media, he was a new(er) student.

Glad to see how this turned out... I was filled with some different emotions when I saw active shooter and high school together.

Hmm, no scary black guns, no "high-capacity magazine clips". Wonder what angle the antis are going to take? Either it shows all guns are dangerous and should be gotten rid of, or they'll say the lack of a body count was due to its low capacity showing capacity limits work. Or they'll pull the general angle of "for the children" to justify more laws.

Didn't he learn anything in school? He was supposed to use a shotgun!
