This one ended quickly, with less casualties.

A student pulled out a gun and shot two other students at a high school in southeast Maryland Tuesday morning before the shooter was wounded, the St. Mary’s County sheriff says.
The gunman entered Great Mills High School in Great Mills at the beginning of the school day and shot a female student in a hallway, Sheriff Tim Cameron told News4. A male student also was hit by a bullet.

All three students were in critical condition.
Information was not available immediately on the relationship between the students, Cameron said.

The shooter exchanged fire with a school resource officer, a trained, armed deputy sheriff, Cameron said. The shooter was wounded; the officer was not.

The school was locked down and the incident was contained, according to the school's website.
Deputies were called to the school about 60 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. just before 8 a.m.

Sounds like no causalities yet, good news indeed.

I also tip my hat to the school resource officer, job well done sir!

So someone on site with a gun stopped a mass shooting.

Not just someone. A trained officer. But that was a nice attempt.

Exactly, having an armed individual present put an end to what could have been another mass murder. I wonder how many students would be dead if that individual had not intervened?

Root cause. How many people did the shooter intend to attack, and did he accomplish that task?

As of yet, no fatalities other than the gunman, It's a good possibility that he did mean to kill someone, so he didn't accomplish that so far.

You just don't get it do you.
This is a good thing. A person WITH a gun STOPPED another person with a gun from doing more damage.

Maybe 2, maybe 22. What's your point?

Attempt at what?,EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN EXACTLY IN YOUR WORDS SO WE KNOW FOR SURE.

CBC is reporting the shooter is dead and two students injured and being treated in hospital.

I'll bet that the average concealed carrier practices at least as much as this resource officer.

Maybe this, maybe that. Makes a great platform to formulate opinion and policy.

I wouldnt think the average would, but no doubt there are groups who hone their skills equivalent to the highest swat teams. Add that extra motivation of cause, and they would present a challenge. Within that realization, US politics could take dangerous turn.

You Sir are a strange fellow....good guy shoots bad guy....you see conspiracy..... I see live kids..bad guy dead...all good

Apparently this officer didn’t run outside to hide from shooter when he was informed about active shooter. He did what he was supposed to do- he engaged the shooter thus saving many lives. A job well done!

Gonna guess vacuum cleaner to one ear and air compressor in the other ear. When there’s nothing left in between you qualify.

And the media will likely portray and report it like this..... "Despite an armed school resource officer, two students were shot and wounded" then they will go on to declare armed school resource officers are obviously ineffective, guns must be banned.

I'm curious as to what entity could/would train anyone outside of said professionals with such skill set?
Why would anyone outside of the professional require such training?

Pulling the trigger is not all that is learned in weapons training in any professional environment that I've endured.
Keeping said weapon in hand or on body 24/7-365 is one thing, all non-professionals should struggle with this, as there is no requirement outside of revolution or the ever present news killings.

Until castle hits Canada, leave it to the pro's.

A senseless tragedy for the families, really hope the kids completely recover. Thankfully there weren't more. Kudos to the officer!!

If it was just someone and not a trained officer that would be wrong in your eye's?

Serious question Tyler. Why are you so determined to defend the scum of society and leave any form of defense out of the hands of civilians?

Good job by the officer. Who knows how many people were in danger, maybe it was two. All that matters is that this threat was put to an end before we could find out how many more were targets.
A real hero.

Until 2nd ammendment gets repealed, sh*t like this in the US will continue to happen. I could give a rats whatever you gun nuts have to say about that.

UH-OH your feelings are showing...lay off the cnn and quit playing identity politics, your juvenile attempt to get a reaction is laughable.

Try not to be emotionally triggered into fear based reactions.

You fail to understand that even if the second amendment was repealed, things like this would still happen with over 300 million guns in America...

Us “gun nuts” would like to know if you and Tyler compare paycheques?

Someone else will get into this more, but I'll address it now... When a kid has been bullied his whole life, suffers from mental illness and has had a lifetime worth of trauma with no support system, and has decided that he is going to commit mass violence, I am fully convinced the method is flexible... Meaning if he can't get a firearm, he will use an Improvised Explosive device. If he can't get that, he will use a knife, and so on and so forth. Firearms are tools, as are knives and explosives. It is the reason and method for using them that is evil.

Now, how will banning guns resolve these issues? Only thing that may change is it will no longer be "School Shooting" and instead will be "School Bombing" or "School Slashing/Stabbing"

That's all for now.
