I hope I can post from this source...it is part of ABC.com here in Detroit. And did you notice, the coach is 70? And he obviously "shoots to kill!"

A lot more stories like this, and perps would learn a few manners.
I believe that it was John Lott that said "An armed society is a polite society."

What are you telling us? You mean the coach forgot to carry his scissors or push his desk out into the parking lot? s/o Good. These thugs need to assume that every adult employee from a school might be packing.

Oops, this means the coach must have had the gun in his possession while he was on the school grounds. I hope that doesn´t mean he will be charged with that crime...
[OP: no one "shoots to kill"; we only shoot to stop an attack.]

When you kill these attackers they don´t commit NEW crimes.
Rapes are down in Dallas
and UP in Chicago & San Francisco.

ALA post #5.
Does anyone suppose the perps just wanted to talk with two young, female athletes? Without the coach, we´d likely have some small blurb about to high school girls being found raped and killed. Two more stats for the FBI´s list for 2013.

Finally something positive about about a school named after MLK. Someone should do a study of the average ACT score at schools named after him.

And I´m sure the parents of the girls he was escorting are just furious that he carried a gun while in the presence of their girls.
Why doesn´t someone ask them how they feel about it?

I have to disagree, OP. The way I read this, the coach shot to stop the threat. He succeeded.
And #5 has it right: the recidivism rate here is now zero (0).

Just as in a real life situation, the police AND Media show up a-f-t-e-r the crime has been committed. We see police and reporters milling around the crime scene searching for clues or gathering evidence. Fortunately, the good guy won this fight.
That!! - is why we need an armed citizenry.

It was Chris Rock who said that nothing ever good happens on a street named after Martin Luther King, Jr.
This would be the exception.
And whatever happened to that federal gunfree school zone law?? The coach would have been in violation of it.

Oh, I see. this must not have been a "Gun Free" zone. I mean, if the coach was packing and the perps were packing on school grounds? Right? Just think, that young man might still be alive if the school only had put up a few "Gun Free Zone" signs. What a shame.

Policemen don’t stop attackers, attackees do. Policemen come to write the report. Like the coach, I don’t call 911.

Poster #3 you´re right. Not suppose to have a gun within 1000´ of school grounds. However, I think that under LEOSA a "qualified retired law enforcement officer" is allowed to conceal carry on school grounds.

An Ohio woman is suing an abortion clinic after she says she made the painful decision to terminate her pregnancy because her life was in danger, only to discover she was still pregnant after the procedure. The northeast Ohio clinic in a court filing denied Ariel Knights´ allegations that doctors were negligent and failed to successfully perform the abortion she sought, eventually leading to the birth of her healthy baby daughter.

The recovering drug addict with a long rap sheet who had just sat down on the bench at a north Philadelphia train station often wondered if he was a good person, and perhaps never considered that anyone thought he was a hero to anybody. But there was no self-doubt when Christopher Knafelc´s instincts kicked in Thursday and he leaped onto the tracks to help a complete stranger he´d just seen flail and fall off the platform.

A brother and sister were reunited after 65 years apart, thanks to the online sleuthing of a 7-year-old boy. For Betty Billadeau and her brother, Clifford Boyson, the reunion was a lifetime in the making after they were sent to separate foster homes around the time Betty was 5 years old and Clifford was 3.

Viral Internet video and photographs of right-to-work protesters tearing down a tent and trashing a Lansing hot dog vendor´s catering equipment has sparked an online fundraising drive to help a man known by most as "the hot dog guy." During Tuesday´s mass demonstrations that attracted an estimated 10,000 to the Capitol lawn, protesters of the right-to-work law the Legislature was passing and voting on tore down a tent rented by the Michigan chapter of Americans for Prosperity. Witnesses and Internet videos show protesters, some wearing union clothes, using knives or box cutters to cut the tent´s ropes.

Milwaukee – After thousands of ads, hundreds of stump speeches and a record war chest of campaign cash, President Obama is banking on a final burst of star power to boost his get-out-the-vote effort in the final 72 hours of the 2012 presidential campaign. As Obama and his top surrogates – Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and former President Clinton – barnstorm the battlegrounds this weekend, they will have a cast of Hollywood stars and music icons at their sides. The pairings are aimed at driving turnout, particularly among young and minority voters,

Mitt Romney is within striking distance of Barack Obama in Michigan in the final days before the election, buoyed by more who are convinced the Republican is a viable alternative to the president, with the ability to turn around the economy. Obama's lead over Romney has shrunk to just under 3 points, 47.7 percent to 45 percent, with 3.8 percent undecided, according to a new Detroit News/WDIV Local 4 poll of likely voters. Obama's lead was 6.7 points earlier this month and has eroded to within the poll's 3.8 percentage point margin of error. It's the smallest advantage for the Democratic

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy. There will be lots more hearings coming up this week
