Millard South Shooting
Roper:
I guess that I don't understand how NFOA could gain by commenting at all on this tragedy. I doubt that we have near enough information to support or not the father. If someone wants to start talking about how evil guns are, that's a different story. Maybe I'm way off base here and open to help in understanding our role here.

Re: Unarmed School Security Officer
News accounts indicate that the MSHS SSO was unarmed.
Because......Everybody Knows...Guns and Schools Don't Mix. Gotta be 1000 feet away from the premises.
Therefore>>>>>>>It made Perfectly Good Sense for him to hunker down behind his desk when the Shooter pointed a Glock .40 at him. Woulda been Pretty Stoopid just to stand there Unarmed, lookin' eyeballs at the Kid With a Smokin', Loaded Gun. Who had just Shot the Living Daylights out of Two People.
Just a Random Thought Fer No Particular Reason.

I haven't read a lot of the stuff tonight, but it was my understanding the kid came in to the school, signed in at the security desk, then went to the principal's office... if that is true even an armed security officer wouldn't have stopped the shooting, but might have stopped the guy from leaving.

I think you're right, emotions are too high right now and we could easily come off as insensitive.

Knowing that he had to fight his way in may have had a major impact on the decision to attack the school
ETA I see now that may not have been the case. I wonder why the school security did not recognize the potential risk of allowing someone who had just been booted out earlier to return to the school without questioning their intentions. Am I wrong to expect that would be a function of a security officer?
