Surprised I didn't get a breaking news alert about this from my MSN-driven news service here on Windows 10...then again, maybe I shouldn't be surprised given the circumstances of this particular incident and the political leanings of MSN...:bang:

So it wasn't a gun free zone?

Hmmm.

We don't need guns in schools. When every second counts, the police are only minutes away.

CNN has picked it up.

This is the type of stuff that should be blasted everywhere... Shooters getting killed quick.

CNN has totally screwed it up.

They got a phone call from a student who was in the school on lock-down, and put him on the air live without verifying his "facts'.

The student said that he had heard that 7 people had been shot, and that at least one student was dead. None of which was true.

The Maryland school had an armed officer inside the building. The Florida school did not.

The reasons for the discrepancy have yet to come out.

Absolutely correct. Proves in a life and death situation, you cannot always depend on law enforcement, you must depend on yourself.

And one had piss in his shoes as he cowered behind a bush, the other thank God performed his duty.

Good guy with gun stops bad guy with gun.:ThmbUp:That's unconfirmed. The resource officer fired a single round at the same time the shooter also fired a round. Law enforcement hasn't determined yet if the shooter shot himself or if he was struck by the officer's round. The officer was not injured.

Btw, I'm all for armed school resource officers. I've worked with several for years.

The Florida guard was employed by a sheriff's department where cowardice permeated.

One student is dead, the shooter. So that part is true.

No matter how hard you try, bad guys will ALWAYS be able to get a gun.

Maryland has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation.

They prohibit any person under age 21 from possessing any “regulated firearm” (handgun or assault weapon).

Although the assault weapons ban the General Assembly passed in 2013 gets the most attention, the legislature also passed a handgun licensing law that year that requires fingerprinting, four hours of training and an extensive background check to get a handgun license.

Once buyers have a license, they’re subject to the state’s other handgun laws, which require buyers to be over 21 years old and to wait seven days after trying to buy one. Buyers may also only buy one gun per month unless they hold a special collector’s license.

We don't need guns in schools. When every second counts, the police are only minutes away.

Did you say that with a straight face? Or do you know something we don't? Perhaps the good guy (resource officer) gave a handicap to the police by counting off several minutes before engaging the shooter -- just to see who would get to the shooter first?

Seconds count in shootings, not minutes!

The fact that this school was NOT a a gun-free zone made all the difference in the outcome.

Wishing doesn't cut it. Action does.

I "wish" we lived in a perfectly righteous world, but we don't. So...we must adjust or die.
