So,,, Whatinnaheck actually happened?

Did some kid get behind the officer
Then try to get his gun from the holster?

Just seeking a bit of clarity here.

This surely puts to bed the debate about arming teachers, right? I mean if this could happen to a HIGHLY trained professional officer, how could a teacher or administrator EVER hope to safely carry in a school?

The same people that want teachers armed are the same ones that call them groomers. Doesn't make much sense to be arming the groomers. But that little bit of logic seems lost like tears in the rain.

I gave my interpretation, but you can read the article and make your own judgement call.

I read a article that stated the Officer heard a small pop and when he stood up there was a hole in the bench he was sitting on, now my question is what kind of gun has a small pop when fired most i have shot was a loud bang.
Most of our resource officers are either county or city LEO's and 99% of the time they are just sitting in their cars in the parking lots and never even goes into the school unless called.
