Colorado Shooting over in 80 Seconds because of Armed School Resource Officer | Concealed Nation

You heard it right, gun grabbers. The recent shooting in Colorado at Arapahoe High School happened to have a Deputy Sheriff on school grounds who was working as a school resource officer, according to a CNN report. He was in the vicinity of the shooter when the rampage began and was able to end the violence in 80 seconds. The initial reports were stating that the police took 14 minutes to arrive on the scene, but we are now learning that wasn’t what ended the shooting.

The rampage might have resulted in many more casualties had it not been for the quick response of a deputy sheriff who was working as a school resource officer at the school, Robinson said.

Once he learned of the threat, he ran — accompanied by an unarmed school security officer and two administrators — from the cafeteria to the library, Robinson said. “It’s a fairly long hallway, but the deputy sheriff got there very quickly.”

The deputy was yelling for people to get down and identified himself as a county deputy sheriff, Robinson said. “We know for a fact that the shooter knew that the deputy was in the immediate area and, while the deputy was containing the shooter, the shooter took his own life.”

He praised the deputy’s response as “a critical element to the shooter’s decision” to kill himself, and lauded his response to hearing gunshots. “He went to the thunder,” he said. “He heard the noise of gunshot and, when many would run away from it, he ran toward it to make other people safe.”

That's what one hopes for and could happen much more often with sensible laws and policies.

It seams like when assailants are confronted or know that they will be confronted imminently by ARMED personel, they often take their own life.

that seems to be the prevailing profile.....once isolated, confined....game over.

this was IMO a very good example how it should work out.....kudos to the officer for running towards the gunfire...

Now we need to start training, and arming, those teachers and staff, who are willing to take on that awesome responsibility.

Don't forget the qualified citizens who are just as capable and able as any staff who could volunteer.

I think....WE don't need to do anything other then create whatever legally to allow this....like the "no firearms on school property" exemption to "qualified " peoples.......... other then let whomever wants to train and take such responsibility.

By we I mean each individual school system. At their cost. The federal government has NO business in individual school systems in ANY way, shape or form.

School systems don't need to pay for this. Volunteers, whether school employees or not, can and will get certification at their own expense. It won't cost taxpayers anything to potentially have certified individuals on campus ready to do what needs to be done. Miscreants will have to wonder just how many may be on campus at any given time. None? A few? Several? Many? Start something and find out.

Some states have started Leo....SD being one of them.....by legislating to allow individual counties the rights to do so.....now it is up to the counties to allow school boards across their jurisdiction to do so...it takes time to set up programs....

It is unfortunate that it has come to this in the US of A....very disappointing....

Colorado Shooting over in 80 Seconds because of Armed School Resource Officer | Concealed Nation

You heard it right, gun grabbers . The recent shooting in Colorado at Arapahoe High School happened to have a Deputy Sheriff on school grounds who was working as a school resource officer, according to a CNN report.

Thank the Lord that armed Sheriff was there, as well the unarmed security officer and the two school administrators who bravely responded to this tragic event. Thank God for these brave people that put their lives on the line so that further harm wasn't done to any of the students, school faculty or other's that may have been present.

I do have to ask why you prefaced your thread with the comment, "gun-grabbers"? I don't recall anyone here in the soapbox having a problem with armed law enforcement on school premises. I don't recall any so called "gun-grabbers", if you will, voicing any opposition of law enforcement personnel on school property. I just do not see the rationale for making this tragedy into a partisan issue.

Um, how about because that's exactly what the other side does every single time an incident occurs? The "gun grabbers" use every incident of this sort to fuel their campaign. They inwardly give a sigh of relief that another has happened to give them fresh fodder. They are 180 degrees off and it is absolutely a political issue to them.

Seriously. What?

It's hard to decipher what you are talking about, but I will try though as futile as it may be. Show me a legitimate piece of news, a protest, an opinion piece, legislation or something where the so called"gun-grabbers" were against properly trained and armed law enforcement in our schools.

I took the OP's remark about 'gun grabbers' as a general comment about the opposition to armed security in schools. Not specifically about someone in this forum. It IS a partison issue however, by the gun grabbers, whoever they may be.

And again, who is in opposition of armed law enforcement in our schools?

Please, we are talking about this story, in Colorado, where a law officer brought down a school shooter. I just don't see a partisan issue with what happened here. I don't see anyone upset that this law officer stopped what could've been a worse situation. I don't recall anyone, any organization, any politician, any group complaining about armed law enforcement in our schools.

Maybe OVM can shine some light on why he felt it was necessary to add "gun-grabbers" to his commentary about this situation from Colorado.

I did not.......not my typing..it was part of the story from the author.....Don't know why the author used that term considering it is a pro-gun site....

Okay. Curious though, do you agree with his use of the words "gun-grabbers" in his article? I would be inclined to think you would since you took the time to link to the article.
