A student opened fire in the hallway of Great Mills High
School in Lexington Park, Maryland early Tuesday, striking two classmates.
Other students and faculty immediately notified the armed resource officer on
campus, who promptly responded and shot the crazed gunman during an exchange of
fire.
The
officer was unhurt, the perpetrator was killed. One of the two students
originally fired upon is in stable condition, the other in critical condition. The
school was put on lockdown and students were eventually evacuated from the
school and taken to a nearby high school while parents and guardians were
notified.
St.
Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron stated: “On this day we realized our worst
nightmare. The notion of ‘it can’t happen here’ is no longer a notion. You
train to respond to this and you hope that you never ever have to.”
The
assailant’s motive, if any, is not known as of this writing. What is known is that the incident almost
certainly would have been worse—likely much worse—without the presence of the
armed officer.
Green
Mills High School lies just 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., where many
of the nation’s lawmakers—preposterously-- mock the idea of properly armed and
trained individuals protecting students from just such incidents as this.
Sadder
still, you may well not have heard of this incident. You see, the mainstream
media are keeping it under wraps as it doesn’t comport with their preferred
narrative. If the tragic mass school shootings are such big news for extended
periods of time, as they should be, then surely
the prevention of those incidents should be, as well.
The mainstream media has shown once again, beyond a
shadow of a doubt, that it has no honesty or integrity left.
Sometimes no news is fake news, too.
