My question is why did not the school resource officer shoot him long before the other deputies arrived.

Perhaps she wasn't sure if her shot would put him down. Perhaps she didn't have it in her to fire on a living being -perhaps taking a life.
It's anyone's guess.

ALL IT TAKES TO STOP A BAD GUY WITH A GUN IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN.

Guess this proves it. Suck on it libtards. AND IN A GUN-FREE ZONE TOO.

45-50 years ago you could target practice with your 10/22 at the public school range.

The security resource officer was much more talkative than I would have been with that wacko. Bang, bang, bang!

That should be their mission when confronted with an armed gunman in a school. Dead, dead, dead! ASAP

Kindof sounded like the creep was doing suicide by cop.

Most likely she was unprepared mentally to do the job that needed to be done.

I think the bad guy wasn't out to shoot anybody but wanted to comitte suicide by cop that is why he never fired.

I can’t help but wonder if the guy was there on a mission to save the kids from whatever danger his delusion convinced him was about to happen. That’s why it was all about pulling the fire alarm.

Which is why he didn’t pull the trigger, he wasn’t there to kill, but to save. Not all delusional crazies are homicidal and sometimes even the homicidal ones are convinced they are saving the world, destroying demons or aliens.

It’s totally real to them, while the rest of us are totally clueless to what they are perceiving.

First thing I learned in working with schizophrenics, what is perceived as real; will be real in it’s consequences. Do not dismiss their delusions.

This wacko had serious spiders in his head, and he was known to the authorities for years as a loose cannon, but nobody took the initiative to *make* him get psychiatric control, because it is likely he would have been institutionalized.

More information. I mean, seriously, this guy gave a ton of warning before he went off.:

Could be. On the other hand, maybe his plan was to pull the fire alarm so all the kids would run between him on the officer, and he was fixated on it.

Teacher's Unions: Dead kids are an acceptable price for the goal of keeping teachers disarmed.

Yup and it's more than the Teacher's Union that feels that way.

You can bet your life that the MSM and the DemocRATs want those kids to die because it supports
their agenda. They support Abortion so what makes me think they care about dead children when
they have proven that their end justifies ANY means to get there, to thwart the Constitution.

Maybe so, or maybe she was trying to keep anyone from dying that day. One thing is for sure...she put her ASS on the line. That gun of his is trained on her and not kids; and no kids were harmed, so I would say a job well done.

I think actually they are trained to engage and keep the person talking (especially if they feel they are suicidal). because when they are doing that, they may not be shooting.
it seems she did the right thing, the guy never fired a shot.

Don’t remember this being in the news. Must be because the school had an armed Resource Officer and that prevented the killing of anyone and the media did the bidding of their masters and didn’t report it. Interesting.
