And yet they railroaded the school officer. This idiot principal was clearly at wrong and should be fired.

Agree with Sam I am–the principal should have called the police department after she was unable to reach the school officer

I think if a child comes to school with a gun, his or her birthday should be taken away. Or at the very least all the kids should be able to have their own guns. That seems like the fairest solution to me. Or like the previous commentors said, I’d support firing at the principal, say from about 20 or 30 feet. That’s just my learned opinion.

It’s people like you that make people like me glad there are people like you.

Takes 10 seconds to dial 911 which should have been done.

Hello Jesus!

Why was there such a wait before 911 was called? Can anyone answer that question?

911 is for situations of immediate danger. Here the principal had the student disarmed, had secured the weapon, and the had the situation under control.

Why the panic? Praise to those who can keep their heads while all about them are losing theirs.

Give the principal a medal for showing poise under stress and not overreacting.
