LISTEN: “Call St. Maryโs Hospital, warn them, theyโre getting at least two priority one patients… Both of the priority one patients are head injuries, the priority two patient is going to be a leg injury, and they should see all of those patients in the next 20-25 minutes.โ pic.twitter.com/LHF0RrbVpx

A good guy with a gun stopped the shooter. This makes the case for armed cops in the schools but the media is not reporting this part of the story.
CNN didn’t bother to mention the armed resource officer shooting the gunman. Unbelievably, they are already calling for gun control.
