So if there's a shooting it's everywhere but if there's a hero who stops one it goes mostly under the radar the man deserves some recognition
Unknownz doesn’t fit the agenda
I’m sure it did where they’re from
Nam Nugooyen omg no tf it’s not stfu
Unknownz thats why the world sounds like such a horrible place because nothing good ever gets spread
@Nam Nugooyen It's using your opinions of colour and race in this scenario that's irritating, this is the mentality that liberals and SJWs have 24/7.
The hug the kid received was probably all he needed to begin with.
Aditya Wardhana holy shit thats a weird comment
@warrior 4467 oh no
Nah we not about to do that. You bring a loaded SHOTGUN to school cause you need a hug? The parents should have to do time and get their kids taken away. The kid only got probation? So he’s able to re-plan and come back with something that isn’t as big so he can just pull and shoot? Y’all weirdos kill me with this sympathizing with the criminal bullshit. Dude was planning on taking limbs and heads off and y’all feel sorry for him cause he didn’t get the chance to pull the trigger?
That is completely right
He?! Kind of looks like a girl lol.
This is what a real man looks like. He didn't tackle the kid or use brute force. He showed him that someone cares and that's really all most of these kids need, which is sad in itself. The fact that so many of our young feel alone or lost is absolutely heart breaking. Do better parents
wouldnt blame him if he tackled him or even beated him bro he had a gun....... im shocked he didnt tackle him
@@Redeemed.mindset He understood the situation and handle it like a man.
@@boof0569sm the situation is no snuggles or kisses, its gun vs life.
@@mostly6760 The kid obviously just needed someone to hug him and tell him it's alright. Real men understand this. Wannabe "Alpha males" wouldn't know how to handle the situation other than trying to show how much of a man he is by doing nothing.
@@boof0569sm there is no definition of "man" like there is for "women". The fact you try and set a bar to what a "man" is, is just pathetic. Its acting on logic now emotion, america is a society ruled by emotion not logic thats why there are these problems. Logic has to take over before emotion, america is a failed society cuz of this.
That’s the only gym coach that’s actually in shape
Carlos Vids on god he is😂😂
nentally and physically
Former Oregon WR, someone actually fit for his job in all aspects.
Then they try make fun you for being out of shape
Dude... SERIOUSLY
I think hugging him was the best thing he could've done
@Milan Milanovic Lol.
Milan Milanovic ok
I'm pretty certain that the "embrace" or "hug" was not done out of "compassion" but rather as a means to control the student/would be shooter.
@@kmacradio Of course, but most of these people that turn out to be school shooters are broken people. You cant defend their actions but when a broken soul like that actually gets a hug/signs of caring from someone, I imagine that they snap out of whatever sort of crazy mindset they were previously in, at least temporarily. Lack of attention or at the very least proper, good attention is what usually drives these people crazy like that
@@plebstrike8240 hugging a would be shooter is the last thing that would be on my mind.
the guy is a real hero not only he prevented a tragedy he also looks like he connected with the kid instead of being a manly man and that alone i think can change a disturbed mind into the right path.
The hug was the manly man part. The compassion and understanding, pure manly.
The student was going to kill himself so yes he did. He is a hero.
hmm I saw nothing but manly behavior.... oh but of course you probably believe what you see on TV sitcoms and mainstream media that men are nothing but dummies I just want to Prey Upon people drink beer and watch sports ball. There's a reason why men don't have female friends and most females don't get along with other females. In my life experience typically men are level-headed not Petty, forgiving and patient. Can't say the same for feminine feminists
What do you mean with "instead of being a manly man"?
@@DisneyTLK110 most guys would have started kicking the crap out of him after disarming him
The amount of respect I give to this gym teacher. It’s unbelievable that he really started hugging him with a gun.
@@pianist-yx6ot not really
@@thex2983 yes really
@@HarukoHaruharaI not really
@@HarukoHaruharaI anyone would agree it's most likely to happen in the US, but there are dozens of other countries in the world where this absolutely could occur, and several other places where it already has. Fun fact, it took me less than 10 seconds on google to verify my claim just now. The more you know.
@@pianist-yx6ot You are right, a student with a gun is possible in the US. In other counties they are more organized. While we have about 30 people killed in mass shootings a year, during the time of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany and Communist China, their governments imprisoned a large part of their citizens and over 100 million were killed in those 70 years, that is over 10,000 per day - a lot more organized. But I'd prefer we the people have the guns and the government has to play nice. BTW, those weren't the only countries. Pol Pot killed 1/3 of Cambodians, Turkey took out a lot of minorities, Brits supposedly did it to a lot of the colonies and even the American government did it to native Americans and had unarmed blacks as slaves. Better the people have guns, and the government has to play nice.
GIVE THIS MAN ALLLLLLL HIS FLOWERS. Absolute hero
For a second I thought the coach had a gun and was confronting the student.
Haha same
"You cant run worth of shit run now!!"
Same
I thought the coach was the student with the gun and the student was the coach hugging the student (basically people swapped around). That coach deserves a reward
Who threw THAT FUCKING PAPER BALL AT ME?
Reminds me of southpark when that teacher tells butters to put the barrel of the gun in his mouth
0:22 he waited for his homie. That’s love
That's wonderful bro!
Kaishie 😭😭 I -
Kaishie i’m crying these dudes are friends forever
@@diari4542 and?
Thats a friend right there
Wow the coach deserves massive respect and reward. He saved every parents child in that school.
God bless this man forever. He saved students and parents the grief of losing their kids in such a horrific way.
That's all these kids need is a hug...
Yeah a lot of us have been bullied a lot and we didn't walk around with gun shooting innocent people, the kid isn't innocent.
@@holliswilliams8426 and bullies are
@@holliswilliams8426 you probably get bullied a lot
I mean the guy only wanetd to kill himself and not other so he only saved the life from the guy with the gun.
The fact that the coach hugged him instead of taking him to the ground speaks a lot
Even though the coach is restraining him and holding him for the police, that little defensive hug probably meant so much to that kid to know that one person acknowledged him and gave him attention to show that he cared even if it was just to defend the other students
I bet the reason behind that is that the coach knew he wasnt a bad person, you wouldnt trust someone that was moments earlier with a gun in a school, without knowing their reason behind that, but the coach did
Police can’t afford to hug a thug
@@lardarse2887 hes not a thug hes just broken
@@caramel9687 Not in this case, but in general hence the shoot first police.
“He didn’t intend to hurt anybody but himself”
damn
Lego Have Rights lol I don’t think you realize how hard it is to talk about what’s causing you pain
I dont understand why bring the gun to school if you plan on hurting just yourself? Maybe him doing that was just his way of crying for help
@@nutmeg9005 he didnt want his mother to find his dead body so he wanted to do it in school instead
It has been proven that the shotgun had only one cartridge. While that doesn't prove anything, it may point to a suicide.
1:56. IKR? Tell me about it.
That coach deserves a noble not just for having saved students in a school shooting, but also for his compassion and will to say to someone "It's gonna be ok, I'm here for you".
You don’t think the kid is evil for trying to shoot up the school? Y’all demonized that trans person for shooting up the Christian school.
I am so glad this coach had such a strong presence of what to do! I’m in tears just watching this compassion coming from this coach for everyone, including this troubled young student. Thank you!

Well because it has a happy ending and no casualties, thats the last thing the media wants spreading.
It was also not a AR15 so it wouldn’t help in the Assault rifle ban they want. Also you’d think a cooperation devoted to spreading information wouldn’t get a clip confused with a mag but they’re fucking retarded and have an agenda so 🤷♂️
PhaseSkater no it happened a couple of days ago this week
I wish I had that coach in my life. These days there’s not that many staff at school that show any compassion for us students just trying our best to cope with the emotional stress that comes with being a student working for a diploma in a socially hostile environment. He’s a rare breed, I hope for nothing but the best for that coach and student who felt people needed to see his inner turmoil by spilling it in front of them
Bro ur a hero! U saved all their life’s. You have a heart of gold. I pray you are always happy. What you did can never be described in words. You are a amazing person.
This is how you prevent tragedies. A person who listens and has compassion.

The coach was incredible. What a great heroic feat. We need more people like him in this world.
I've never seen such a compassionate teacher in my life, what an amazing man
Would the coach have been wrong for beating him? It would be a justified response to an evil attempted school shooter
This should be viral, he stopped another potential school shooting.
Did you know suicide in a school even empty count's as school shooting
Ok
The sad reality is that people only care about the headline if there are casualties involved.
@@alaska6650 Its the hard truth 🙁
No need to make it viral, some schools just need to get some sense of preventing bullying so none any of that drama shit will happen.
Bless that man. He's a hero, not only for stopping a possible suicide or murder-suicide but also for sympathizing with the student and showing kindness and compassion towards him. We need more people like this man in the world.
Definitely. This student shouldn't be dismissed for his actions, because that was an awful decision to bring a gun to school and traumatize students, even when he was only going to kill himself, he would still terrify and traumatize his classmates by killing himself in front of them. Many probably have PTSD just from what happened, and he didn't even think about that. But, the coach did amazingly, and his sympathy should indeed be praised.
@@rattian1976 his he should be dismissed and in jail for life
@@gj471 That’s not going to solve the problem though. Do you really think he cared if he went to jail for the rest of his life? He was going to kill himself. This isn’t diminishing the severity of the situation, but we need to start having different perspectives on punishment and rehabilitation.
@@IronAxeGaming1 I agree, but if they're going to give him therapy, then they better have went out of their way for the students as well.
@@rattian1976 and why bring a whole damn shotgun
You know this most human thing I’ve seen in a while because obviously for someone to kill or threaten to harm and jeopardize they’re own safety then they must be desperate for attention and love, how amazing to go in for a hug ♥️
Now that's the good kind of teacher right there and you can tell that kid went through problems like most school shooters and I hope he gets help 🙏

Teachers didn’t sign up to do this, they signed up to educate children. This is why they are the bravest among us. Amazing but very sad state.
For Progress : Today, yes, teachers play many roles & they are in danger. Back-in-the-day we had “fire drills”, not “active-shooter-lock-down-drills”. This coach is definitely a hero with compassion for his students & for the troubled young man with the gun. Wow...Speechless. He deserves all the praise that he’s receiving.👍🙏
You took the words out of my mouth, exactly. Not fair for staff to have to do this but amazing.
Right exactly oh my f****** goodness I'm glad you said this.
I don’t understand why EVERYONE isn’t demanding they be given what they need and paid what they deserve for educating AND literally helping raise our children. We expect them to take bullets for our kids but SOMEHOW there are still brain dead morons in the world who think they shouldn’t ask for what they deserve or even for what they need. Insanity 🤯
@@amyashley3182 remember in 2018 there was a teacher that took a bullet for those kids? Teachers are heroes and angels.
Props & recognition go to this instructor. In addition to having empathy and a heart of gold, it is clear to see he has a sharp sense of self-awareness. Good Man!!
*_TRUST !!_*
What a beautiful moment. This coach is a hero, no question. That this was his instinctual reaction speaks volumes about his character.
This wasn’t a school shooting being stopped, it was a public suicide attempt that was stopped. The kid was saved as well as any trauma the other students would have received from witnessing him kill himself.
@Draxagon highly unlikely
@Draxagon I'm confused what are we talking about again?
@@gherkingaming3988 I personally known Angel for about 10 years now and he was bullied hella by these kids and no one did anything about it. No one wanted to hang with him so him and I and another friend of mine would cruise around in my old civic and we'd always talk about life and getting Voodoo doughnuts, he said he didn't want to live anymore because of his ex girlfriend breaking up with him. I'd always try and preach to him about God's love but I feel terrible for never being consistent with that. He is actually a really good kid and his intent was to hurt himself not anyone else. I didn't know he'd head for doing something like this however I'm glad that coach stopped him. I'm disappointed in the school system for not doing jack about any of those kids and even myself for not answering his calls or texts at 4am. I still have the photos on my phone of all of us hanging. Please guys, check on your friends. Let your fam know they are loved. -from a guy name Isaac-
The classification of school shootings covers everything from mass shootings, to spent ammo casings found in clothing, to firearms found at school, to the bizarre event of someone breaking into a school over a long weekend and shooting _away_ from the school from the rooftop.
Whether these statistics are purposefully misleading is something I'll leave up to you to decide.
@@khanginh5007 cool bro.
The criminal isn't this kid. The criminals are the bullies and the teachers that did nothing. I'm just glad the coach was there when the kid needed him the most.

@@sha3755he had one Bullet in the Chamber, if he was there to kill his Bullies, wouldn't he have Brought, More Bullets instead of one?
He was there to commit suicide in front of his class.... He should he put at fault for thinking its right to kill the bullies the Bullies should just at fault for bullying him.
I edited this.
yeah but pretty sure bringing a fucking loaded shotgun into a classroom classifies you as a criminal
the kid was still commiting a felony
Compassion saved life's.. I'm so touch by his kindness.. Best video love seen on here in a long time...
at the end of the day, the kids who think about/ do these things they just need someone like this man to truly support and help them
The kid was probably bullied to insanity.
Edit: He wasn't planning to kill anyone, he was, in fact, going to suicide infront of his bullies.
Teachers usually don't give a F when they see kids getting bullied, they tend to ignore it, (kids stuff) But bullying can really mess up someone to the point of ending his life, as we see here. I know because I was bullied too.
Edit2: for those who think I'm defending the school shooter, I'm not, I'm just saying that without bullying, this would not happen.

Nobody is talking about this hero as much as they should. We still have good teachers left.
May, this happened in May and only now is it appearing.
DeadlyNeedle ! There are many good teachers out there. Many are scum, however, especially when I was growing up. I went to public schools in NYC and North Philadelphia. I had some great teachers. I had a few teachers that were scum and bastards in each city too. One particular asshat of a teacher that I had in mind was a teacher named Jay Cohen, who was horrible. He had good spots, but was curtailed by a lot of bad shit, including favoritism and policy violations. He regularly made fun of students that he didn’t like, encouraged other students to lie for him when he hit and mistreated students, encouraged kids to hit the ones that “weren’t cool” when they weren’t looking, overlooked the kids that didn’t dress aesthetically pleasing, and so much other stupid shit. Now, couple that with the fact that he was a White/Jewish male, in a low income neighborhood (mostly poor minority and some poor White students), this would be something that the media would eat up today, and Cohen would be arrested/fired. However, this was 1990, when teachers were not held accountable for their shit as much as they were today.
Although I was the smartest in this class, he didn’t like the fact that I was from a poor family, my parents were divorced (but ironically accepting other kids that were born out of wedlock), and I was not a “cool kid.” I couldn’t help where I came from. But, I stood up to him when I was backed into the wall. He hated that shit, and used to grab me and slammed me into the wall. But, he got away with the shit that he did. I used to wish his life would fall apart for his ways, but I don’t anymore.
Jay Cohen wasn’t alone. I can think of tons of teachers that were scum and bastards. I’ll put a few on the Hall of Shame, in case they’re still teaching: Frank Caul, Keegan McIntosh, and Andrew Skopp (although he was not my teacher; he was an old supervisor, with another job, and I hear kids describe him the way I knew him to be.). Keegan had sex with teen girls. Frank slept with young boys. Yet, these people still have their jobs.
Now, I went to school in the 80s and 90s, when kids were passive and took a lot more shit from teachers like Jay Cohen, due to respect issues. Today, these kids aren’t taking that level of bullshit from these teachers, and I understand why some of them feel like shooting the teachers that mistreated them, although I don’t condone it. That young man that came in with that gun probably was mistreated by a teacher, and he felt that he had to handle his business. The coach that held him back reminds you of the fact that not all were bad teachers. I’ve had great teachers too, in spite of the fact that I had some bad ones.
All of that said, this coach should be celebrated more than what he is.
Not a Teacher lol
Coz he is black.

You shoot the school up once because someone in classed teabaged you and suddenly its the games fault next time don't teabag me in rainbow six carson
@@userhbiron1806 then what about movies
@@jesus8046 the studies that said it decrease empathy were first person because the brain would think its looking through the eyes if you get into it enough, that's what multiple studies have said
He is a hero and a brave person. And the compassion he showed to the gun man was amazing. He went beyond and above us job. He really is a hero and wish him many blessings. He took a bad situation and ended it on a good note. He is a amazing person
I would say he deserves everything his district can provide him which I hope would include a nice raise in pay because that man showed he has both nuts and a backbone of steel!! I am retired law enforcement officer, there's no way I would get close like that with an armed suspect, but then again, the kid was not waving his shotgun around either. I so very proud of that man and will not arm chair quarter back him what so ever. In fact also as a military vet, I salute him, he could be my wing man any day of the week!!! Oh How about acknowledging his parents for bringing him up to have compassion for those less fortunate!!! They too should be mentioned and praised!!!
Many lives have been saved. This guy is one of the greatest men in the world.
Labeling this incident as “potential school shooting” makes the point that kid was trying to make completely overlooked
because we shouldnt feed into their bullshit? the only point attempting a school (or any type of) shooting makes is that youre a waste of space who shouldve been swallowed
@@audrey2658 what lmao he was trying to kill himself
And your comments really hard to read
@@audrey2658 Ah yes, found the idiot. If you feel this way, I hope your family, current or future, undergo the same fate, but don’t have this coach to protect them :) you shouldn’t get mad over this statement btw, it’ll contradict your own comment.
@@N-Kiro I hope that’s not true and doesn’t happen
@@audrey2658 almost had a stroke trying to read this bullshit
“Careful, he’s a hero”
J gamer Spider-Man I think
*Carefully
@Fürst Jermaine You wanted that to happen didn't you?
Wow this made me tear up
that hug broke my fucking heart man
He was so courageous but also kind enough to hug the student immediately, that just made him a great person
Half Blood Prince said which one was the coach the white dude or black dude I’m so confused
@@yowaddam2212 the guy with the hat is the coach. But yeah I was pretty confused too because the coach was the one holding the gun.
Yeah, I was also confused at first bcz in the video the coach already took the gun from the student
also by the thumbnail i assumed the opposite and was a lil confused and thought it was fake but as soon as i realized that was the coach i felt less confused and for half a second guilty cuz the news made me feel a lil racist for the first assumption >_
Sadly most (not all) of these shooter kids nowadays have parents that show them no attention or genuine love , and do not even talk to them half the time. Some are bullied and isolated too and feel there is no way out. This coach needs some serious White House recognition for this.
why isn't this on every news station. the news is unfortunately slanted towards the negative and stereotypes. Nice work coach, just beautiful.
Mike Studmuffin unfortunately you are probably right. No death no drama no ratings
Bruh uh no one died
It happened awhile ago and the footage is just getting released now following his sentencing. It was made a huge deal of at the time. I don’t even live in the US and I heard about the hero coach, he was all over the news. And now he’s all over again cuz we get to see how amazing his actions were, whereas before we just heard about it. There are tons of news stories in a given cycle, just because you didn’t notice it last time didn’t mean it wasn’t reported.
Cause they couldn’t demonize a white shooter
Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks coach.
but he is wearing a cap 😂😂
True hero. The world needs more people like this
Seeing the kids running is terrifying. And when he hugged him wow. Intense
Yeah he wasnt pussy like the Parkland high security guard
@@TheMillerChild What country are you from?
@@TheMillerChild to bad only people that would have their firearms taken would be the law abiding citizens......if guns were banned he would've just waited till school let out and ran half of them over with a car and believe me there wouldn't have been no disarming the mental case then.
Jekari0 that simple? BAM...all better now...in your world does unicorns fart rainbows too?
@@sundrop2415 unicorns I dout but willing to bet he farts rainbows lol
The school can afford security cameras but can't afford good counselors.
@@rando5673 yeah and I wouldn’t even say it’s their fault either. The workforce can crush some ppls ability to actually care what they do
you act like counsellors are acc qualified, they aren't.
It's not as simple as that
@@themaincheese5897 ?
Unfortunately most counselors don’t even know more than three students names. Four students committed suicide at my high school before the school decided to make a low effort at doing something about it.
Wow a real true Hero, God bless that man and such compassion.
Outstanding response to this chaotic event...Great job
When he hugged him... 😭damn, now thats a true hero he saved multiple kids lives that day, including the shooter life too..
I had a friend back in school that said to my face "Sometimes I just wanna kill them all man, I can get my dads AK"
I was bullied by the same people he was bullied by so I just stood up, walked around the table and hugged him. He immediately burst into tears and I'm so fucking glad I got to talk him out of it. I'm not in contact with him anymore but Jack, if you're out there, I'm glad you didnt buddy.
This is so impressive. You had the perfection reaction at the right time. Compassion can go a really long way
@@jaidevphadke9293 exactly, it was the perfect timing. Had I shrugged it off and waited til the next day it may have ended a lot different. I'm glad I was able to be there for him when he needed me, I'm known as the therapist friend in my friend group haha
@@_just_kowu_4307 keep it up
This was amazing!It's great that you did that,or else he would've wasted all his life for the worst possible reason.
@@15Stratos exactly, and others lives aswell
Bless this coach: amazing and unselfish.
this is why school needs to take bullying seriously. People like this are usually the victims of bullying.
He didn't want to kill anyone but himself. He wanted to show everyone that hurt him that he's going to commit suicide. That coach might have not just saved that student then, but helped him by showing that someone cared about him. I hope he got good help.
Ah I feel bad for him, yes he shouldn’t have but being bullied is horrible and hopefully after his 3 years he gets better and can move on.
He could of killed himself at home, why bring a gun into the school. He was looking for victims
@@thesupervisor3270 he wanted to make a statement.
Show everyone who hurt him and to those who didn't even know he existed. Bruh- you're a fucking moron.
@@thesupervisor3270 he wanted to show his bullies they did to him and to get the point across that bulling does that. He didn’t want to hurt anyone but himself. After being bullied for so long he couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to show them they destroyed him and made him take his life. Bullying isn’t okay and this should be why ppl shouldn’t do it ever.
"Hero coach confronts student with a gun"
me: wait, he's a hero for pulling a gun on a student!?!
*watches video*
me: . . . what is this title
Caleb Martin lmao yeah they fucked up
I understood the title.....
They should have titled it “hero coach confronts armed student”
@@themayomaker4269 smart guy
ik I was so confused
I’m glad he got help..
Just because you get bullied doesn’t mean kill people. People get bullied everyday all across the world. You are not alone.
I mean everyones different some of them ignore bullies and some of them fight bullies and this dude kills bullies
Some peoples brains just think of different things with different reactions. This is one example of it.
"....Removes the clip and throws it on the ground..."
Good lord it's a shotgun.
there are mag fed shotguns just so you know. I thought the same at first, to be honest.
I don’t think that was a clip fed shotgun though
@@jarjarbinks4368 didn't look like it. I think ruussia makes a clip fed shotgun that looks a lot like that though.
There are mag fed shotguns but I’m pretty sure that was radio😂
@@troypayne6701 oh cool
The kid probably had enough of the torment of bullying and decided this was it. Good job to the coach many people’s lives were saved because of him.
Just one life, probably. There was a single round in the gun with "just for me" written on it. The kid tried to shoot himself but it didn't discharge. The coach then took it from him.
the gun was gonna be for himself,he was gonna commit suicide with it
@rose i-
@rose bruh
@rose nah... bullying hasn't changed much through time, it's college where everyone is dramatic.
Good job coach I remember my coaches that encourage u instead of putting anyone down. Keep head up and look forward in life
Thank you soooo much for protecting all children including the one brought the gun!!
