Tennessee

All I'm saying is that IMO, it all started with him bringing the weapon to school and then possibly shooting it. At that point he became an "active shooter" at a school, and I think race becomes irrelevant. He gave police the right to resolve the situation, and cops never shoot to wound, they shoot to kill.

Now if he was in the bathroom, holding the gun to his head, not firing at anybody, then it would be completely wrong for cops to shoot and kill him.

It all goes back to the fact we're a fucked up, gun loving country. A kid should not be bringing a gun to school. Either he got the gun because we're a fucked up country where a teen can easily acquire a gun, or we're a fucked up country, where his parents gave him the gun, or made it readily available in the home.

Eliminate the gun, and the kid is still alive, and the SRO is not in the hospital. But I know that America is never going to change, so incidents like this will continue to happen in perpetuity.
