One Gun Ends Shooting

There was yet another school shooting today, this one in Great Mills, Maryland. It didn't amount to much, and no one (except the shooter) was killed, because the school resource officer--the only person who was armed in that school--arrived, and, unlike the one in Florida, did not cower behind his car while the shooter killed students, immediately found, and engaged the shooter, killing him, and ENDING his shooting spree, along with himself, probably saving many lives--unless this was an "isolated shooting" that wasn't meant to be a "mass shooting." But the upshot of it is, just one gun in the hand of a non-lawbreaker, shut it down, without anybody except the shooter being killed. I figured the officer was uniformed, and the shooter didn't seek him out before opening fire on students--to his chagrin, as that caused his END. Usually, a school shooter does that, killing the only person that is easily located and eliminated before beginning his shooting spree. Which is more evidence that non-uniformed people among school staff--who the shooter cannot identify--should be allowed to be armed in the school, for just this sort of thing, (Clash Daily)
