When an armed school resource officer entered the room, Pierson believed he was cornered and turned his gun on himself, Robinson said. The entire attack lasted approximately 80 seconds and was captured by security cameras.

So the cop can read minds? If the kid had time to shoot himself, he had time to shoot the cop. Uniforms giving themselves an attaboy. A better guess — and it is a guess, we’ll never know — is that the kid had just shot an innocent, young girl, that he had known for the last two or three years, and the horror of what he had done got to him.

I’m not saying that the cops don’t deserve an attaboy for the quickness of their response. They do.

Odd, I don’t see any media quoting Wayne’s statement after Sandy Hook, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

nk — You may be right. But having the offender check out immediately upon being confronted with armed opposition is so typical in these incidents, it’s a cliche.

nk, maybe the resource officer hesitated firing on the armed, suicidal, cowardly and self-avowed socialist when he didn’t notice any TEA Party patches, pins or affiliate insignias?
Just kidding folks. But it wouldn’t surprise me that some media elites just shook their heads in agreement.
