She should be the teacher of the year. If everyone can learn to be more like this teacher... This world would be a better place.
Teacher of the Century 😍
I agree, she was in the right place at the right time to help and be the calm and trusting voice of reason. I hope the young girl is able to get the help she needs and that the students and custodian make a full recovery.
Agreed she definitely should at least be teacher of the year. Honestly teacher of the decade
Yeah
I learned a lesson from this
@InfoJunkie or how about you shut up because nobody asked :|
I don't know if Mrs. Gneiting will even see the comment section, but nonetheless, I want to let her know... My daughter had her last year for math. Before we knew who the teacher even was that got the shooter & the gun. My daughter said, "I bet it was Mrs. Gneiting who did it! She just has this attitude & personality that I bet it was her!" I was shocked to find out it was really her that saved the day in so many ways! Your students past & present love you, Mrs. Gneiting. My family thanks you for your selfless act of kindness that truly saved lives! I'm grateful my daughter had you as a teacher!

What a blessing to have teachers like this.

@Blowing Trees STFU bro. I as a male, respect this woman and acknowledge that this teacher is a hero for saving lives. I don't give a fuck about the gender. A hero's a hero.
@@coltmills8585 Well said Colt!
@Blowing Trees go away
This teacher is a genuinely kind person. She was able to help everyone in that situation including the shooter. Amazing person.
She needs a Medal of Honor. And maybe should go train cops 😉
I think a woman like her is just what the girl needed. Kids need love, hugs and appreciation from adults. There should be more adults like that teacher. I don‘t know her. But I already love her.
Yea but unfortunately it was too late by the time the teacher got to her. There needs to be a way to see who is a potential for something like this. Or even once a month talk to every student even the popular ones to make sure everything is ok
Shouldn't need it from a teacher. That's on the parents.
@@Arrjaayyy ... it takes a village. In the past, many (most?) households had multiple generations residing together, and thus the children had several adults nurturing and guiding them.
@@georgepipito2802 This is genius. My counselors helped me immensely 🥺
@@Arrjaayyy well sometimes the parents are the problem. With if the parents do drugs? Maybe it’s a foster home. Maybe they are getting beat by their parents, maybe the parents have mental illness, maybe it’s grand parents that have custody and they don’t know what’s going on. Usually the people who don’t have it good at home are the ones doing things like this so the teachers should get involved because it’s supposed to be a place that is safe for everyone
Listen how she talks about the little girl. She knows that kid was neglected, and that she'sstill a child. It's sad that this had to happen. She has a gift for helping
The youth. I hope she stays in her field of work.
Millions of teachers act compassionately every single day. It’s a horror to think that for ppl to recognize that it has to involve gun violence. This woman was just doing her job. It’s also a horror that her job even had to involve such a thing
@@Maevelikeschampagne how many teachers risk their lives to grab a gun from a kid
@@thatdamncrow9197 Not many, because unlike in the USA, school shootings are not really happening this often in the world.
@@MsPochiri in the usa its actually very uncommon
Most “shootings” are actually like a airsoft gun being shot
As for actual shootings about 216 have happened in the last like 20 years
Many of which had no deaths
As only 120 deaths have occured across all of them and 3 massacres account for alot of those
130 thousand schools in the us exist
Meaning 1 death by shooting per 1000 schools
@@thatdamncrow9197 216 in 20 years is more than enough to be often, hell even too often
She needs to be celebrated as a hero she deserves more then a 3 minute news segment. Her and that football coach that did the same thing need to be put in charge of training other teachers in compassion.
Idk if anyone else is like me but society pins us always think to connect negativity with men. Like I'd never thought a girls school shooter.
And police officers. This guy was good. More need to be trained to deal with mental health crisis.

No, it’s actually because it rarely ever happens. This is *just* mass shootings, not school shootings, where the rate is probably a lot lower.

That woman not only saved the school, but saved that child. She prevented the little girls life and many others from being ruined that day, and now she has a chance to pull her life together. What an amazing woman 👏
Prevented her life from being ruined? Not with the charges that girl’s getting. She’ll be lucky to *just* get juvie for the rest of her childhood.
@@onemorescout That’s not enough, if she’s willing to do that at that age, she’s definitely willing to do it again. She has that hate inside her, it won’t go away. Should get 10-15 years. But she won’t because she’s a little girl. If it was a guy I hate to say it but he’s facing life and that’s exactly what it should be.
The little girls life is ruined either way. Even if she didn’t pull the trigger, she still brought a fire arm to school. You don’t just recover from that
@@onemorescout I think that is better than being killed. Remember the plan to train teachers to carry fire arms for these situations? This teacher's response was so much better and what is needed. Now if only the mentally ill could be prevented from having access to guns.
@@killerclown001_6 Why should she get arrested for this? She was mentally tortured, and she needs rehab, not bars and whips. Help instead of cage.
I don't think this situation could have been handled in any better way: this teacher acted PERFECTLY, before she had the gun and after she got it.
I think we have to cobsider the luck factor as well. She could have easily been shot, even if the child's aim was bad
Greetings from Keanu Reeves
What an amazing person/woman/teacher. Everything she said was exactly on point. She understood, she disarmed because she was able to (not everyone is able to), she helped and saved so many lives.
We definitely need more teachers like this that are willing to love the students sincerely and show affection in a time of need even though she did shoot but she is young and she needs help
That's the love of the Holy Spirit.

@@dollymadison2397 Amen indeed. 🙏🙏🙏
But what if the shooter was a man
What an inspiring, empathetic, selfless woman! I teared up watching this. A teacher like her would have made a world of difference to me as a kid. Ms. Gneiting, your students, your school, the district, hell- the whole world is so lucky to have you.
There is a VERY SERIOUS mental health problem in this country. It breaks my soul to know that there are kids out there hurting so badly.
There also is a VERY SERIOUS gun problem in this country
There is. In the school system I live in actually recognize mental health days as well as sick days
@@111theoneandonly222 I didn't say there wasn't, but why are we having kids, LITERAL KIDS, shooting each other? Mental health is not taken seriously, and to be fair it's not the gun out here purposely killing people. It's people killing people.
@@starrmarie6969 Yes but it's pure logic that if there weren't so many guns around, like in other countries, this stuff would and could not happen as much
@Happy Go Lucky Actually, here's the funny thing. I 100% believe that gun laws need to be stricter. Harder background checks, any assault chargers, any domestic charges. History of depression & anxiety, schizophrenia, etc. People need to be thoroughly looked at before being allowed to own one. As for abuse victims, they need to be listened to more. Nobody is lying about abuse, and nobody is lying when they say that they're scared for their life. I don't disagree with anything you said, I was simply stating that guns in the hands of the wrong people is what is dangerous. You can't jump to conclusions over such a small statement when you have no clue how someone actually thinks, try asking next time instead of getting an instant attitude.
She has that nice caring voice and eyes, she was there for a reason.
Teachers union working over time pushing the hero summers off teachers
She works there 🇺🇲
Teachers not only raising kids in class but saving them too. So sad that they still are the most underpaid profession.
We shouldn't expect them to raise the kids too. The American families whose job it is supposed to be to raise them well,, are too commonly in ruins.
What about EMS. The people who have to retrieve those children and treat them? I personally knee a medic who responded to the stoneman Douglas shooting. He took his own life. That man made 42,000 a year after he had worked that job for 12 years.
@@zuffin1864... World War 2 changed much of this, because families got used to both parents working, and they got used to that higher income. Nowadays, many don't know how to live frugally. Heck, our capitalistic economy doesn't want them to.

The fact that I didn’t hear about this shooting, speaks volumes to how desensitized we are as a nation. This is heartbreaking
I live in Idaho and it was news for like 3 days and then everyone moved on
@@ellarubel6093 Reminds me of the las vegas shooting.
Because it wasnt a why t boy.
I know what you mean. But I don't necessarily think that not reporting on every single school shooting is necessarily a bad idea.
In my country we don't really have a widespread school/mass shooting problem. But when things like this happen (or, in our country more likely: When people commit suicide by jumping in front of a train) it doesn't necessarily make the news - especially not on national level - because the people are aware that it can inadvertently basically "give people ideas" and lead to others imitating the action. Interestingly this is something that has been observed and kind of handled in this way even as far back as in the 18th century: A famous poet wrote a book about a suffering adolescent who eventually took his own life. After the book was first published (remember: books are amongst the earliest forms of mass media) there was literally a surge in suicide among young people who identified with the struggles of the story's main character. That lead to this book being banned from being sold for a period of time and the suicide rate dropped again.
I can imagine that for some of these school shooters, who may or may not feel extremely desperate and neglected/forgotten etc., they might (1) have gotten their idea to do it from hearing about this on the news all the time and (2) part of their motivation to do it might be to be "seen" at least once in their life.
In any case it is pretty obvious that through all spheres of society the USA definitely is in need of healing and needing access to mental health care and healthier ways to deal with the pain and suffering and anxiety etc.
Except you have now heard of the shooting
This is a news network
It has already reported the news
She's an amazing and very powerful lady in this manner of being able to calm people not seeing her as an enemy but a person.
100%! Plus, I hope that the girl will grow up one day and regret what she did! Hopefully she NEVER commits another shooting at all!
And that if she reaches 19 or 30 years old one day, she will look back and regret deeply, the shooting she did! I also hope her parents are deeply informed!
I just wish the young girl grows up, and looks back with deep big regret about the shooting she committed! Live with the guilt, for positive reasons!
This is a prime example of why mental healthcare is SO important. JUST as much as physical healthcare. I hope everyone is okay, and they got her help. These kids and families are going to need some Help getting over such a big trauma.
BULLSHIT. Every country has fucked up people. They don't deal with this batshit crazy ass shit because they have NORMAL ASS GUN CONTROL. GUN CONTROL NOW.

@@victoire614 gun control does not work u dumbass!
@@victoire614 have sum common sense you dumbass.
@victoire614 I agree with you that we need more strict gun control, but it is absolutely idiotic and ignorant of you to say we do not need mental healthcare. These kids are very rarely psychopaths or raging lunatics. 99% of the time, they're normal kids that have been pushed over the edge by neglect, by loneliness, by self-loathing, and by bullying. These kids go into such a deep, dark mental place that they think to themselves "what's the point?" or "would anyone care if I was gone?" They start thinking irrationally because they are in their own living hell. They can't take it anymore and decide to do something drastic. Maybe to get noticed. Maybe to get revenge. Maybe just they just want to do as much as possible because they are so incredibly alone and feel so incredibly worthless. If these kids didn't get a gun, they just would've hurt others in another way, or even hurt themselves. For you to say "bullshit" to that is stupid and an insult to everyone who has ever experienced what it's like to find out a loved one has been suffering in silence. I know that this is just a UA-cam comment, but it's rhetoric like yours that makes these kids afraid to tell other people about their pain. They are not "fucked up people" or "batshit crazy." They are in immense pain and need help. You, sir, need to educate yourself. If you can't do that, then go fuck yourself.
Her calm manner of speaking, if that's the way somebody approached me talking like that when I was having a breakdown, it would immediately soothe me.
"This little girl, has a mom somewhere, who doesn't realize she's having a breakdown..." My mama heart hurts for her. She may have loving parents who just missed the signs or garbage parents that couldn't be bothered. Either way, the loneliness and desperation she must have been feeling is a kind of living hell most people would not be able to fathom.
"Garbage parents"? Really?? People like you making comments like this are not helpful..smh
@Thera Webster Do you have any reading comprehension?
I am happy this teacher showed compassion. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS IS MORE SITUATIONS. The world needs compassion.
all i have to say is “chills”....”this girl has a mom and she doesn’t realize she is having a breakdown”...WOW! such grace!
What I find interesting is the teacher was calm and felt love and concern for the child. I think a lot less police shootings would occur if they were like this teacher.
You are a moron. Seriously, come to my neighborhood.
@@silverpairaducks That’s the problem. Too many people didn’t get enough hugs at a young age.
well, it is a good ending, however
not every school shooter is a grade 6 girl. the situation is sad. there too much unnecessary stress on the lives of ordinary people. the impressionable need to disconnect themselves from the devices they are exposed to.
If they were more calm it wouldn't trigger aggression as much
Many UNARMED BLACK get clapped.
This. THIS. THESE ARE THE KIND OF TEACHERS THAT WE NEED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
Yes
We do have these teachers it’s just that most aren’t 1. Put in this situation and 2. Aren’t good at taking a gun away from someone when they’re having a mental breakdown shooting people. Good job to this teacher tho
When a little kid in 6th grade does something like this, you know there is something wrong with our world and this system. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. WAKE UP AMERICA. Amazing teacher that acted with love and kindness, which is exactly what this world lacks. Love.
It is so heartbreaking..💔 my little one will be starting kindergarten this upcoming year and im a little scared because of these things 🥺
It's because children are continually being scared of human kind, rather than being taught how to be successful.
I'm not an American but how did that kid knew how to use a gun and a better question where did she get that gun some people know that the usa are well know for most of their civilians gun so I understand how an adult can get it but a kid. Sorry no offense
Czar niño she probably took her parents gun without them knowing
TheAnimeist no
She's not just an awesome teacher but a wonderful person. I'm so glad she was able to not just disarm her and save lives, but care enough about her to get the help that girls needs.
Wow! Not only is she a hero teacher, she has compassion and got into the mind of this young girl. She used kindness and understanding to connect with her. In my book, she is a Hero of being a great human being.
This has to end. How heartbreaking. Hurt people, hurt people.
Yes well over 90% of of mass shootings happen in gun free zones!
@@shnazynick yes but all of gun shootibgs happen because of guns. So i dont get your point OP wasnt saying we need controk ahe said it needs to stop. Each case is diffrent the only thing that is sharex is a gun is used in school shotings. Usally its because the kid cant cope with life. Weather thats from illness or home life or bullying is the variation.... it sounds like this lil girl is not emotionally well.
@@Ryan-nn1kl facts
@@Ryan-nn1kl to me, the problem is simple, but the solution is complex beyond imagination. Children in this era are increasingly depressed and mentally afflicted statistically. The problem in my opinion is the degradation in the quality of parenting and the home environment in the last few decades, which has harmed children's strength, resiliency, and ability to socialize with others. The fact our society allows us to wield firearms is something that will likely never be changed, at least not for several more decades if ever. I think we should focus our attention on the problems which we CAN fix, which is child development, parenting, and the home environment, rather than trying to further restrict guns, which I don't really see as a way of actually stopping the crimes from happening. We can't have our cake and eat it too, it's tragic but i suppose its better we try to do something actionable and less idealistic. In other countries, things like mass stabbing occur, which are obviously less fatal, but it almost seems like its begging us to address the problem of the unsocialized, depressed individual with nothing to lose, who is then an extreme danger to others.
Only Jesus Christ will end such things.
I almost lashed out similarly. This teacher is an absolute angel.
I hope you have come out the other side and are living a great life now
As a person that battles soul crushing depression myself, it's not difficult to see how someone would get to that point. Be so proud of yourself for getting through it. Hope you are better now
@@Sparklecatofdoom ❤
@Lw1xwyd Seems to me, our society is forgetting values. The school children in my area are afraid to be outside! afraid to be alone for a few minutes! afraid to speak! They don't help others, they dont try new things. they just find somewhere to hide... and sit there, hiding. won't even draw a doodle... nope. can't dare to be seen making a mistake, it will ruin their reputation! as if they have one, sitting there on their phone. I also know a lot of adults that even fall to the floor, clutching their chests, physically diseased by fear! What are they afraid of? I ask, and it's just normal everyday things. never anything worth being sickened by. Some people's hearts stop. some, their brains actually explode... all this just from fear? Awfully tragic disease. It is totally abnormal. Tooo many people like this. I hope that we can heal our society by encouraging bravery again. It's shameful to not atleast attempt to be brave.
@@mud6866You know, I have felt something like that too... Just an irrational fear that seemingly comes from nowhere... Time is going slower... things seem to weigh down heavier at times than they used to. Why? I just finished my eggs for breakfast yet am sitting here afraid... health anxiety, worries, a sense of being agitated or irritable. It makes no sense and it sucks. I will look to be brave.
We come to work everyday knowing that some of these babies are going home to hell. We try to love them and care for them as best as we can. Thank you for being a true teacher. In that moment you really did do the right thing.
What a morbidly wholesome comment....
Thank you for all you do.

I hear you. All of school was terrible for me as I was bullied throughout. Kids can be real a-holes.
I’m 22, and I agree middle school was hard. But I hardly think about it
Anyone who claims to have had fun in middle school, was one of the bastard bullies.
I’m graduating 6th grade on June 10, this is crazy. I couldn’t imagine one of my friends and classmates opening fire at my school. That teacher is an angel, she didn’t yell at the girl, she talked calmly and comforted her.

@666 11 or 12 isn’t a young age to be on the internet. They are literally only 1 or 2 years before they are a teenager and you are talking as if they were 8 years old. There really isn’t an age limit (for the most part.) Why do you think there are videos for *children* on here? You can’t talk to an 11/12 year old like a little kid. They’ve most likely already begun puberty, and they are going to 7th grade in only a month now. 2 more years and they’re in high-school. Cmon now.
@666 Idk how old you are, but if you are under 18 you are still a kid, so if you are under 18, you have no right to talk about “kids” on here. Get it right, also, how do you know all these people here are kids? The fact that you made assumptions upon everybody here is cringe Lmao. Your ignorance is speaking wonders bud.
This whole story is disturbing. Eleven and 12 year olds are school shooters now 😦
It is sad indeed. America is getting worse everyday.
Gun responsibility is the solution. For both the parents and students. Mental health plays a factor as well…
As disturbing as the kids of that age and younger, actively involved in gang violence and shootings. It may not be as common in middle class America (what’s left of it), but in urban America, children are perpetrators of violent crime at an alarming rate, like the 11 year old carjacker just a few days ago in Chicago.

Middle school is a crucial time for kids. The transition from being little kids to adolescence with puberty and hormone changes it does have a huge impact on kids and their behaviors. Don't really know this young girl's story but it can also maybe be problems at home. We don't really know, but I pray that she gets the help that she needs and the teacher deserves an award and lots of recognition for her bravery and compassion.

This woman needs to be honored (and a raise) for her bravery and intelligence. Who knows how many lives she saved that day with her quick and calm thinking. She is a hero.
With the pandemic and all the school shooting incidents in this country, we can all unequivocally say that TOO MUCH is asked of our teachers. And yet they continue to be underpaid and underappreciated.
I could not have said it better.
We defund schools and education every year, while the police and jails get more and more funding to put people in them. We got rid of mental health facilities, and started putting children on Adderall which is meth light, change needs to happen if we want this to stop. We want to deify the person who stopped the situation, which she should be commended, but also do nothing to ensure this doesn't happen again.
@@billyshakespeare488 I couldn’t agree more. As a teacher in a well funded inner city school I find we can only do so much . We are told not to get involved in the lives of our students. How can we be effective if we have to do so at arms length? I see heartbreaking situations swallow kids whole every day yet am rendered powerless to intervene by the same administration that holds me accountable for a multitude of elements that are either purposely beyond my control due to fear of liability on the part of the school district, or I am simply not equipped to handle because I lack the training and authority. Changes must be made. So many that it’s overwhelming to try to even know where to start. All I can do each day is model for my students how we should treat one another with respect and compassion. It’s far harder than it sounds- most days I can’t even manage to get them to stop talking and pay attention. Many of them don’t even know what that means.
Well honey thats because the majority of teachers of shit
@Christian Voros I actually said nothing about defunding police in my post, it's just a strange coincidence that education gets defunded every year and police budgets go up, it's not a good correlation.
Absolute hero. What a wonderful example of how de-escalation and compassion can be powerful tools that save lives.
Good Word, De-escalation!!!❤️🙏🏽

This is why parents needs to pay attention to their kids. All she needed was love and feel like she belong. Most the kids who do this are unloved at home. And have to deal with school bullying as more. Some people are no good parent's.
Some kids just don't open up about their day, even when asked, public school is hard and it never gets easier, it's unfortunate, she is a young teenager and it's very hard to tell what emotions were going through her head kids at that age or any age to be honest are not nice
@@natalieeubank4533 Kids don't need to tell you exactly what their days like for an attentive parent to notice something's wrong. Kids don't have to open up about everything they feel to be loved. Love your children openly. Pay attention to them. Tell them. Talk to them. It doesn't necessarily have to be about themselves.
I wonder if the parents even have the TIME to keep track of her. Work consumes more and more of everyone's time and energy, to the point where children are best viewed as luxury items in this day and age. Parents are exhausted, resources are scarce, more and more is demanded of everyone....and then BOOM. Something like this happens. And then we pause for about 15 minutes before starting it all over again.
She's so young, no one at that age should be thinking about doing things like that

@@katherinedavis895 still not a reason to resort to violence her parents should be responsible.
@@electraheart7745 to be honest I don't think the comment above was an excuse because it is atrocious.
I think she's saying that it seems bullying played a role and if this is addressed this may help to stop this outbreak.
@@electraheart7745 I don’t think the person above was excusing the behavior I think they were just saying that so you can understand that it’s a factor of this situation happening
What is wrong that so many children are so disturbed? And why wasn’t this teacher’s face on nationwide TV, clutching a Presidential award for her bravery and kindness?
I remember being on tiktok and seeing a guys post that went to that school and said his experience. They even told everything that happened like the exact time and place. Glad not many people were hurt
This woman is an angel...a true blessing. I can only imagine the impact she is having on the kids she interacts with daily.
I was being sexually abused by my father in my childhood. I wish someone had saved me. Please help this girl turn it around. It’s a hard life when you hate yourself.
This broke my heart reading 💔 im sorry you went through that
🤗 virtual hug don’t give up! Keep your head high you are a great survivor
I’m so sorry for your suffering. We’re here for you.
Am so sorry you had to go through this💔💔
i couldn't even imagine, thats awful and no child or human should have to endure any kind of abuse especially at the hands of your parents, may he burn in hell.
I feel bad for the girl. I also feel terrible for the injured. Amazing teacher, we need more teachers like this
1000%. The young girl obviously needs help, no questions asked. Yes all the people, the teacher and injured kids all need support and compassion.
My only hope deep in my heart, is that she doesn’t grow up as an adult to do a shooting again!
My hope, is if she becomes 19, 20, even 30 one day, she will look back, with deep deep regret. And forgiveness.
I don't agree with the girl. just because you sad doesn't mean you shoot people! and how did she even get a gun?
@@goatedpond531 YESSS!!! Her parents are most likely the reason, and her parents gotta do something about it!!
Nope. I blame the little girls PARENTS since they’re the reason she got a damn gun in the first place. They are responsible. Not an 11 year old.
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
That teacher is worth her weight in gold. No one else would have had such compassion in that crisis. She saved that girl's life
This is the most amazing teacher and mentor for our youth . My daughter struggles with mental health daily .
Teachers can literally CHANGE THE WORLD and SAVE LIVES and still they have to fight for every ounce of respect.
The way anyone should.
This is what our teachers go through, yet we pay people millions of dollars to dribble a ball or run down a field etc? What kind of world do we live in?!
yeah teacher are underpaid how you finna diss sports players just cause they more successful
There is a huge difference in pay for private organizations for example, Apple, Facebook, NBA owners and people like Roger Stone. In comparison to the salary of public government funded jobs like teachers, street cleaners or road construction workers.
@@shootablacked64 i was about to reply to person who said that but you said what i was gonna say
There was a time in history where Black people could only rise from the ashes by running and dribbling a ball. Are you jealous? You sit and deny the dedication and talent one must possess to have people pay you to dribble and or run a ball. There is a hint of white supremacist rhetoric in your declaration. When I am confronted with it in any format and on any platform I WILL move against it. Understood?????????
@@shootablacked64
Hang tight bro, I got this!
She’s a true hero especially how she handled the situation! God Bless you!
my sister was there going to pick up her 8 year old daughter. this is so heartbreaking. what an amazing woman
The most powerful thing u did was hug that child . Thank you
God bless her, showing love while facing a hurt child with a gun hurting others. I am in Awe of her bravery and compassion. God bless them all.
We need to pay more attention to the young people around us who are struggling. I imagine this girl was showing signs long before she brought the gun to school. This teacher’s bravery along with her caring behavior towards this girl will help start her healing.
The fact that the girl was so calm and let the teacher take the gun, it is a clear sign that she found in that teacher a mother. 🥰🥰
Idc about her age she shot up a school with intentions to kill people
@@pineapple5111 There's no excuse for what she did, but its obvious she hated her life. She needed help, but there was no one to help her until now. It's great that the teacher was able to disarm her. Hopefully she is receiving the help she needs.
@@ohwhy3613 I remember being that age you’re a lot smarter than people perceive she could be really manipulative and end to up doing it again she needs to do hard time
This could of been a one time thing or she could just be pure evil 🤷♂️
@@pineapple5111 If she was actually evil she would have shot the teacher? You do realize that right? She let the teacher disarm her.
Such an angel. I can’t believe her strength and courage. I’m just amazed by this woman
she saved so many lives! she's a hero!
Wow. I love this woman!! God bless her.
Wow Krista, you are a true hero. You not only saved lives, but you had the peace of mind to show tremendous compassion for the young shooter.
What an amazing human. Courageous and with a ton of heart. Thank you, hero!
Hero cho
An amazing teacher. I hope the girl is alright too and gets the help she needs
This is the type of teacher we need everywhere.
Really so sad tho, middle school!!!
im actually glad this situation didn’t escalate into that little girl getting killed by police..knowing how they charge individuals in an aggressive tone can be scary and could’ve made her in the state she was already in even worse. shout out to the teacher for being calm and bringing a comforting aura into hers.
Probably not because she was white.
@@electraheart7745 not this idiot
@@electraheart7745 I don't think this applys to this situation plus its a girl so like they would obviously be more leniant.
White kids don’t get killed
@tyler durden the ignorance in this comment Is mind blowing
Such an amazing teacher. Every child needs love and not everyone gets that at home.
Wow! This woman! So brave. Such emotional maturity! God bless her! Praying for this lost child as well.
This world needs more people like her and I don’t know her but I love her please give love to her
Wow! This woman has a heart of gold and balls of steel! I only hope my son has a teacher half as amazing as her
Teacher of the Year times a million. What a wonderful and brave teacher and person.
SHE’s AMAZING !!!!
She is so brave, she could've died. But how messed up are kids in the US that even a 6th grader would do this?
This isn't normal for 6th graders here in the U.S though!
It's not that. Kids 6-9th grade are still developing critical thinking skills. They are also going through puberty. If, at the same time, something that seems traumatic to THEM happens, thus can happen. They don't think of the after of the situation often times. The ones who do are usually the ones who make cops shoot them, kill them, or they kill themselves. I'm a former 7th grade teacher....I've had to talk kids down...not from guns, but my goodness they can make astoundingly bad decisions and you give them something else they could have done and they look astounded.....if I hadn't suffered a back injury, I'd still be teaching.....
This isn't just in the US it's all over...
This is why mental health needs to be a bigger deal

I think it really is an American thing. I think it's because our parents have so little time to spend with their children.
This lady is a pure saint
Soooo many thanks to this teacher for doing the best for all involved!
We need more teachers like this to care for and keep children safe in school.
Yes and teachers have been protecting their kids when shootings have happened. Thats why we do lockdowns in schools. Its easier said than done when you are in a situation as such. We need actual armed security officers in schools and metal detectors. Some schools have them here in NYC but its usually the HS and depending on the city.
Praise her for giving her a hug. Yes, she needs the proper help.
Im glad that no one was killed. Reminds me a lot of the shooting in 2019 where a coach also disarmed and hugged a shooter. Still, that girl's childhood is pretty much over. For comparison, the 2019 shooter received three years probation in a mental health facility. However, that case differs greatly from this one. He only had one shell in the gun and it was clear he intended only to hurt himself and not others. This girl shot three people and traumatized hundreds of her classmates for the rest of their lives. She's extremely lucky no one died. Still, she's likely facing three charges of attempted murder at the very least. So at the very least, she'l be sentenced to a juvenile facility until she turns 18.
At the least, she deserves juvenile prison until she’s 17. Then jail till she’s 27, you don’t get away with something because you’re a little girl and everyone feels bad for you. Well I shouldn’t say you don’t, because you pretty much do.
@@killerclown001_6 bruh, actual murderers get less time what are you saying
@@Pizzacheese10 I’m saying, it’s f*cked up that the law sympathizes these people, if it were up to me they all get the firing squad. Including the sixth grade girl who tried to murder people, her intent that day was to murder the whole school no matter where her mental health was at. If you find that fked up, I think you may have one or two murder tendencies yourself.
@@killerclown001_6 “If you don’t agree with executing 6th graders, you may have a tendency toward murder”...You wanna try that again?
@@akshajbist1518 To the 5% of this that made sense; There’s no possibility to rehabilitate a 12 year old?
What an amazing teacher, those children are all lucky to have her, even more so on that day. Hope everyone is doing better now, hope the injured people are ok and the little girl got the help she needed.
that teacher is amazing
What about the custodian/janitor who also stepped in and protected some of the kids? They didn't get shot but still intervened. .Everyone no matter how small a role needs to be recognized.
Hero teacher and hero custodian (jim wilson who shielded kids). amazing teacher
getting younger by the days, poor baby girl, must be going through a lot at home.
She's a brave and strong teacher.
She de-escalated the situation without violence. Many cops need to learn this.
Why is it that American kids go through breakdowns and immediately think taking someone’s life or shooting a bunch of kids essentially traumatizing an entire school is going to make them feel better. What’s that about? I hope she gets help but honestly I feel far more for the people that got shot and the other students there who might now have to deal with ptsd and all of that because of her actions. I also hope she gets all the help she needs but she also needs to get all the consequences some time in juvenile detention and a good therapist so she can learn hurting others can’t help her. Those poor kids that got shot, that had to run from their classrooms thinking they might get shot...
Dina Salysa, it is far more common for struggling kids to commit suicide rather than homicide or some combination of the two. I don't know if it makes them feel better. Oftentimes, the shooter dies in the process, so it's tough to say. I agree though, that the girl in this story needs help, but shouldn't necessarily reintegrate into society. It is possible to feel compassion for someone and at the same time, recognize that the rest of society needs to be protected.
Kids that have mental breakdowns don't IMMEDIATELY think of taking someone's else's life, much less their own. It's a violent spiral into a terrible mindset and rationale isn't exactly the first thing present when people are in pain. More often than not, those violent thoughts are internalized into suicide, but homicide isn't a decision they make with rationality. She wasn't dead set on doing it either.
@Nine Waves I'm glad you are doing much better now. I can only imagine myself how hard that must've been and it's great that you've persevered it. 💕 Hateful thoughts and self loathing have become so ubiquitous in today's society and its a devastating fact. To be one of the ones to have survived it- you must've had such strength. I sincerely mean it when I say that, even as a stranger, that I'm very happy to know you're alive and better. :)
It’s almost like we have an obsession with guns
So sad. The emotional turmoil our children are in these days is disturbing. Kids feel unloved, unwanted, bullied, or worthless and they do these things trying to feel something. It’s heart breaking.
I hope that little girl gets help, she's in so much pain.
I hope the people who were shot get the help they need.
She shot her classmates, she's a public safety threat. I feel bad for her classmates as they heal from the trauma she caused.
@@ChernzObylShe may be a threat to public safety, but also a very broken little girl that deserves love and empathy.
@@Sparklecatofdoom imagine if someone said what you said about the El Paso shooter.
@@ChernzObyl There's a pretty big difference between a child with a hand gun and a racist, grown ass adult with a manifesto and an assault rifle. Don't get it twisted... Not saying there shouldn't be consequences for her actions, there absolutely should. But to talk about her like she's some sort of monster is just gross
What an amazing teacher.
This is such a wonderful teacher. She saw a child in distress, and helped. She knew this child has suffered and still wants to help. She has hope for this young girl. We need more teachers like this.
Teachers have been asked to do so much this school year. We are all highly stressed ourselves. Thank you Krista Gneiting for having the courage and mindset to handle this awful situation. Trying to get mental health help for children is so hard to get, if a parent does not give permission. Many parents don't want to admit that help is needed. There is only so much a teacher can do. I sure hope this little girl gets the help she needs. Violence is never the solution.
This woman is a healer and this is where the world is going through now. She is a reflection of a larger reality.
She read her energy, kids and animals are good at sensing energy. She read calm and love. Thank God it turned out well.
So terrible sad all in every sense 🙁
@Blowing Trees Irrelevant. Trump lost. Get over it. Womp womp.
@Blowing Trees what the heck are you even going on about? A woman got a gun from a young girl. Celebrate the fact that no one else got hurt, and stop going on about feminazis. Your views have nothing to do with what happened at that school.
Thank god? Wow. Baaaaa baaaaa
@Blowing Trees that's not true.
Very SAD....Very AMAZING...Very BEAUTIFUL...
What a beautiful lady ,this teacher is amazing her heart is genuine compassion
What a loving teacher. We need more people like this in our world.
