Shots Fired In Classroom: Georgia Teacher LITERALLY Shot Down The Idea Of Arming School Staff…

Are you KIDDING me right now?!?!

Many of us have said that ONE possible solution to the problem of school shootings (as part of a larger approach, not alone.) is arming teachers who are willing and able to carry.

One Georgia teacher is apparently hellbent on making sure that doesn’t happen, because after what happened this morning, it’s going to be a MUCH harder sell…

According to AJC.com:

A North Georgia teacher, known as the longtime radio voice of Dalton High School football and basketball, is in custody after he fired at least one shot inside a classroom, police said.

The incident at Dalton High School, about 91 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, sent panicked students running through hallways and alarmed parents already on edge in the wake of a mass shooting earlier this month at a Florida high school.

OMG. What in the actual hell?!

CAN WE NO LONGER TRUST ANYONE AROUND OUR KIDS?!

About 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, some students tried to get into Randal Davidson’s classroom and he would not let them in, Dalton police spokesman Bruce Frazier said.

They alerted the principal. When the principal came to the door and used his key to try to open it, Davidson forcibly closed it on him, Frazier said.

At that point, the principal heard a gunshot. Police have not said what type of gun was used, only that it was a handgun.

“We had officers inside the building quickly,” Frazier said.

Officers evacuated a hallway and secured the area first.

During the evacuation, a female student was hurt, police said. That student is being treated by emergency officials for an ankle injury.

After about 30 to 45 minutes, authorities were able to get Davidson to surrender.

“I don’t believe we’ve had any dealings with him before,” Frazier said.

It’s unclear whether any students were in the classroom with him.

I hate to be this person… but could this guy be so opposed to teachers carrying that he was trying to send a message?

That’s just a theory… I have absolutely no evidence to back that. It’s just hard to understand why people do the crazy crap they do. It’s beyond comprehension.

Davidson, a 53-year-old social studies teacher, has been at Dalton High since 2004. In 2012, he was recognized as the school’s top teacher, according to Dalton Public Schools, which wrote about Davidson’s non-traditional path to teaching in a profile that year.

He moved to Dalton in 1995 and became sports and news director at WBLJ-AM radio, the district said.

The Georgia State Patrol is assisting police with the investigation.

And as I mentioned… this all comes after people have amped up support for arming teachers.

During a listening session last week with parents and survivors of the rampage, President Donald Trump said if one of the victims, a football coach, had been armed “he would have shot and that would have been the end of it.”

He followed that up with a tweet that suggested “armed educators (and trusted people who work within a school) … should get yearly” bonuses.

“Shootings will not happen again,” he wrote in the Twitter post. “A big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.”

Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again – a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.

So did this guy just singlehandedly kill that conversation?

Unbelievable.
