| For prior gun crimes . He then committed suicide while on the run after shooting two school officials at denver east high school https://twitter.com/denverpost/status/1638945739282993152?s=46&t=Rw_jX1uyupQwvEwsjuQulQ |
| Perhaps jail people for gun crimes so they aren’t free to shoot up a school? |

You know the parents of students at this school are going to be hopping mad. Not only did Denver remove all SROs from schools, but this student had been expelled from another school and placed at this school.
It is hard to listen to officials scream about more gun control when incidents like this happen.

SROs were so brave at Uvalde and Majory Stoneman. |
| The people who searched him were regular High School admins. That’s ridiculous. If school policy involves pat downs of certain students that may be violent (such as this guy) it should be done but armed and trained SROs or police. End of story. |
Here is an SRO who was hailed as a hero in IL: https://www.police1.com/officer-shootings/articles/sro-takes-down-high-school-shooter-saves-lives-rGEcUGpZVZdm65fD/ And here is a resource with case studies about how SROs have saved lives: https://cops.usdoj.gov/RIC/Publications/cops-w0903-pub.pdf Here is another about an SRO who saved a student from a suicide attempt: https://www.nasro.org/news/2022/04/21/news-releases/sro-success-story-school-resource-officer-saves-student-from-suicide-attempt/ And, an SRO saved a student after a heart attack: https://www.kptv.com/2022/06/15/wilsonville-staff-sro-save-students-life-after-sudden-cardiac-arrest/ There are many more like these. |
Ok. So those were not. That doesn't mean that most SROs are the same. Denver, Newport News, Philadelphia and districts with similar policies need to rethink student safety measures. |
Unless he was convicted the state can not take a constitutional right away. He is allowed to have his gun while in jail. |
Wrong, he was 17. Not legal for him to possess a handgun. Educate yourself before spouting nonsense. |
Since there were no SROs, the school had to send unarmed staff to do the pat downs. There's some sort of disconnect where people think school staff are equipped to deal with gun and physical violence. |
+1 school staff should be focused on education, not patdowns. Let the professionals (SROs) do that job. |
at the press conference today thry admitted there are other students under the pat down requirement too so likely they had gun charges as well |
they gave him probation for his prior gun crime . He is also a minor so doesn’t have the right |
they used to put kids like that into special programs for troubled teens. Not in the general education of a public high school. Many, many years ago, at my high school, a student threatened a teacher with a gun. I was not in his class, but we went into lockdown--long before lockdowns were a "thing." We never saw him again and no one knows what happened to him. but, I guarantee you they did not put him in another school. |
