Armed guard disarmed teen in Atlanta school shooting, says police chief

By KATE BRUMBACK

"Atlanta ? A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said."


Of course if the armed guard had not been there, and the shooter had killed a whole bunch of kids, it would be a very big story....

I don't think the question has ever been would this approach never work, but rather does this approach offer a net benefit to society as a whole. I don't believe it does.
