A bad guy with a gun was stopped by a good guy with a gun, just like Wayne LaPierre said.

In fact, I think the shooter was initially stopped by an unarmed teacher, who was then assisted by the SRO. And the SRO didn't shoot the miscreant, so there was no armed response to the shooter. While I am exceedingly happy the incident was stopped before more kids were shot, I don't view this incident as a poster child for the effectiveness of armed personnel in schools.
And I, too, shook my head over the news that a kid got a gun into a school equipped with metal detectors. Must have been one of those Glocks that don't show up on X-ray.
