Unfortunately school shootings<\/a> seem to be happening more frequently than they used to (or at least we are hearing about them more often). Former Vice-President Joe Biden<\/a> introduced a bill in Congress<\/a> in 1990 that “\u201cprohibits any person from knowingly possessing a firearm \u2026 at a place the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone<\/a>.\u201d That was the bill that made schools gun-free zones. A gun-free zone<\/a> is a place where a shooter will have no opposition for at least five minutes until the police arrive. That is not a reliable plan to protect the students. That point was illustrated this morning in a school in Maryland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Daily Caller<\/a> is reporting today:<\/p>\n

The Great Mills High School<\/a> student who injured two others Tuesday morning was reportedly stopped by the school\u2019s \u201carmed\u201d resource officer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to WUSA9\u2019s Peggy Fox, St. Mary\u2019s County<\/a> Sheriff Tim Cameron updated reporters after the incident had been contained.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameron stated that three students were injured in the incident, including the shooter himself, who was taken down by an armed school resource officer<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SRO reportedly responded without hesitation and exchanged gunshots with the suspect before disarming him. He was not injured in the exchange.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a case where an armed, trained, person on the site ended the incident. Every school needs someone on site who is armed, trained, and willing to engage a person shooting at students. If teachers want to fill that role, that is fine, but if not, an extra security person is needed. The fact that there are armed people in the school may deter some shooters from attempting to shoot students. At least, putting an armed person on the site will increase the students’ safety.<\/p>\n
