Did he leave a note or FB trail? Just wondering was the perp after an ex or went intending to kill as many as possible. Either way, good for the RO

Yup. Everyone should be allowed to carry. Including the students. Nothing can possibly go wrong.
I'm already regretting engaging in this, and I realize that you're using hyperbole laced with sarcasm for effect, but this claim that the NRA/Republicans/"the right"/"gun nuts"/etc. want to force everyone in schools to be armed is disingenuous and needs to stop. (And, apologies for directly responding to your particular post. Yes, I realize that you said "allow" not "force" above; your post was just the straw on the proverbial camel's back for me...)
I've not seen a single credible proposal to *compel* all teachers to be armed, but I've seen several that would *allow* *some* teachers to *optionally* carry with proper backgrounds, training, etc.
Not all teachers are old, timid, mousy librarians; some have law-enforcement or military backgrounds and could provide an effective response (and deterrent) in these situations.
Right, because none of those guys ever fuck up or go off the reservation...

If you're comfortable with an armed SRO at schools (and in classrooms, which is a big part of their jobs), why wouldn't you be equally comfortable with a properly trained and vetted teacher who also wanted to carry?

I'm in Maryland and pretty familiar with the gun laws. I heard that he used a Glock 9mm.
It will be interesting to find out where it came from. He can't buy it so he had to steal it. We (Maryland) have some of the most strict laws in the US.

It was his father's legally owned firearm.
Reports indicate that he was previously dating the girl he shot, and they had recently broken up.

I think just a school shooting, but, not a mass one. So, not really news worthy.
Depends on what your narrative is.
Is the Narrative "We need more guns in schools"? Then it was definitely a school mass shooting that was thwarted by good guy with a gun. RAH RAH RAH LETS TALK ABOUT THIS MORE!!!
Is the narrative "No guns in schools" Then it was just a shooting that happened in a school and the good guy probably over reacted and can we stop talking about this now?!?!?
Sadly, your cynicism has a grain of truth.
