TAFT, Calif. (AP) — A 16-year-old student armed with a shotgun walked into a rural California high school on Thursday, shot one student and fired at others and missed before a teacher and another staff member talked him into surrendering, officials said.
The teen victim was in critical but stable condition, and the suspect, whose pockets were stuffed with ammunition, was still being interrogated, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference Thursday evening.

The teachers disarmed him. I'd say that is as successful as a school security officer disarming him or the police doing so.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Now they'll roll out all of the theories about what could have been done to stop him before he walked into the school with a gun. The speculation will be endless.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
