“I just told my students, ‘We are going to leave, we’re going to run to the high school, you’re going to run hard, you’re not going to look back, and now is the time to get up and go,'” Gneiting recalled during an exclusive interview with ABC News.
The girl shot another victim in the hallway before moving outside and shooting the third victim. Gneiting was helping one of the students who had been shot when she saw a girl holding a gun.
“It was a little girl and my brain couldn’t quite grasp that,” she said. “I just knew when I saw that gun, I had to get the gun.”
Gneiting looked at the girl and asked, “Are you the shooter?”
“I just walked up to her and I put my hand over her hand, I just slowly pulled the gun out of her hand and she allowed me to,” the teacher said. “She didn’t give it to me but she didn’t fight. And then after I got the gun, I just pulled her into a hug because I thought, this little girl has a mom somewhere that doesn’t realize she’s having a breakdown and she’s hurting people.”
Do some research: in the US guns are used defensively almost 3x more often than in any crime (CDC). Nevermind the clear use case being presented in Australia right now.
You literally have school shootings every week. Obviously those kids were using the firearms for protection right?
"Some Americans" not all. Trust me. The majority of us don't even own guns.
It's not denial, but rather a conscious conclusion that firearms protect from tyrannical government and other 'bad guys', and a few hundred dead Americans is acceptable loss within that ideology.
Before anyone attacks; I don't agree with this mentality...just stating the (apparent) majority stance on the issue.
The problem is, if the government has the support of the armed forces/police etc., a few people with guns isn't going to stop sh#t lol
Nope, it is the guns... Switzerland has a gun problem too, and those guns are not held in 'Murican hands.
Last I checked, it wasn't criminals shooting up schools. Well, they were obviously criminals after the fact, but before, they were kids. Kids in other developed countries do not have easy, ready access to firearms.
