It didn’t take long after yesterday’s shotgun attack by a non-student at Seattle Pacific University for word to get out that the brave actions of students ended the attack before far more people could be injured or killed.
The friends of the first man to go after the armed suspect quickly identified the bashful hero to the world via Twitter.

At least some of the comments are making it known of Jon’s knowledge and hobby of guns.
In another article it had the Mayor saying something about that he went to SPU to talk not only about this shooting, but ALL gun violence that blah, blah, blah.
Dancing on the tears of so many to push his political agenda. My son is at SPU and watching it on TV in their dorms he and others began booing and yelling at the TV.
Here is a link to a “letter to President Obama” where the guy is requesting a medal for Jon Meis. With an excerpt that I thought was good.

“By awarding Jon Meis with this honor, it would send a message that the greatest weapon we have against random acts of violence is in fact the very spirit of the American people. It elevates the unique qualities we see as “American”, which cross party lines and have nothing to do with gun control debates or conversations on mental health.
Evil will happen despite all logistical and political efforts by anyone. How we choose to respond to it as a country is determined by a culture created by individuals. Individuals are most influenced by heroes.”
Hope they don’t commemorate the killer in a service along with the victims like they did at Virginia Tech.
and an Electrical Engineering major to boot...gotta watch us EE’s, we may look like dorks but we pack a wallop...lol
Shocking to hear that. :>}
But someone could have been hurt if guns were allowed on campus. /s
Why do you say that? I haven't heard anything about carrying pepper spray being illegal in Washington State.
According to the information I have, pepper spray is prohibited on the college campus.
Perhaps the hall monitors have special dispensation? After this incident, they should!
Even if it was a violation, I doubt SPU would hammer him over it. I’d be very surprised if they did.
Schools routinely expel students for drawing pictures of instuments of self defense. They will not let this good deed go unpunished.
This is a Christian university. They don’t operate the same way your typical liberal institution would.
Not to mention the publicity backlash if they were to do such a thing...
