This explains it.

Image result for this school is a gun free zone

This is why that amred guard failed to rush in. He didn't want to break any laws.

Deputy Scot Peterson.

Of course, I suppose he could self-identify as a woman...

I know. Click on the link in #48, and you will see that other news sources spell it the correct way.

Difference is that was the tactics at the time of Columbine...that all changed after. The Deputy should have gone in and engaged the bad guy.

That’s when training takes over. The breathing, repetition, muscle memory is to overcome all that.

“When the shooting began the deputy was inside the school handling a matter with a female student.”

I bet he was. Probably showing her “his gun.”

Your comment is all well and good, except the fact that the Deputy was not involved in a live fire situation.

He was outside the Building and heard live fire.

That’s a bit different, don’t you think?

"I bet he thought he had a great gig in a school in one of the nicest areas in the county."

It's what they call a retirement job...chilling out during the last years of your career. I'm assuming only deputies with seniority are given those types of posts.

Virginia has always had good looking state trooper uniforms. For a very long time, their standard attire has consisted of sharply creased blue-grey uniform shirt and trousers and a dark blue “Smokey the Bear” hat.

They also used to have, in my opinion, the best-looking police vehicles in the country - until they changed the color scheme a few years back.

Unless the shooter had headphones/earplugs, he couldn’t have heard crap after the first few shots. He would have been easy to sneak up on in the hallways.

I think I would have rather had the pistol in the situation that the cop found himself. Rate of Fire about the same. Pistol less accurate at long hallway distance but quicker to put on target. Easier to walk around with weapon at the ready. Maybe faster to reload.

I think the officer probably would have had a slight advantage, not including his (hopefully) more accurate shooting.

Does this mean the People who were blaming Senator Rubio for the deaths of their Children at last nights CNN Blame Republicans Rally will be apologizing to him and Dana as well?

Reminded me a Brown Shirts Rally blaming the Jews for all of Germany’s problems in the late 1930’s...

Well, that could be a woman. And if it’s not, at least one of his parents was a woman. So, a woman’s fault. (/s)

This may be the most profound statement on this thread! Very deep.

Yeah, I saw that - I read it elsewhere and it has been added to the original article I read earlier as well.

Coward should have his pension taken away.
