Mostly Peaceful School Shooting at Dallas Charter School

Finally, a failed school shooting.

A failed school shooting is an accomplishment for Republicans considering they forced Texas schools to spend all that money on new security gimmicks.

It seems the majority of mass shooters these days are idiots, and their diabolical plans are easily foiled by a door with automatic locks.

NBC DFW:

A 16-year-old boy who brought a gun into his charter school on Monday morning is hospitalized in stable condition after being fired on by three police officers, Mesquite Police say. Students, meanwhile, say they recall hiding and staying silent before hearing gunshots.

According to the Mesquite Police Department, officers were dispatched to the school at 3200 Oates Drive after an administrator called at 8:49 a.m. to say there was a student in the office with a firearm in his hands and that he was refusing to put it down.

Police said other administrators spoke with the student to try to keep him calm until officers arrived at the door. When police got to the school at 8:55 a.m. they also tried to get the teenager to put the gun down, but they said he refused.

I just feel like 8:49 a.m. is really early in the day to be refusing to put your firearm down. Maybe I’m old fashioned in that way

I guess they shot the kid, but he didn’t die.

So—no harm, no foul? Police get to be the heroes.

The superintendent said the school’s safety measures worked.

Republicans passed HB3 in the 88th session which was a “kitchen-sink” approach to combating school shootings with physical security.

Zero kids were shot, except the suspect. The security measures seem to have worked here. Right?

All I know is that lives were saved without enacting Justin Holland’s aggressive gun control plan—and that’s something even the would-be school shooter can be thankful for.
