This young man is a hero, he did what teachers do every day, protect and love their students. I'm sure it was so natural for him to jump in to save his kids. I only wish people would value educators of all kinds like they used to.

This young man was raised not far from my hometown. I have friends who know his family, they all say is an amazing person and teacher. So glad he will be ok.....and so will his students.

Must be a real disappointment for the gun-huggers that there wasn't a western-style shoot out.
