When I was a freshman, I had a professor in college who would lock the door and wouldn’t let any of the students open the door if someone came in late. Only she was allowed to open it and before she would open it, she would ask who it was. Her reason for doing this was in case there was an active shooter, they wouldn’t have easy access to come inside our classroom. Some teachers really do go out of their way to protect their students.
Thats an amazing teacher you had!
That would have to be a pretty heavy door to stop a shooter
@@Mac-po1sr School doors are usually reinforced steel or hardened. The shooter wouldn't have been able to easily enter the school if the doors were locked.
I don’t think you understand how elementary schools work children aren’t young adults. There are two teachers per class and they have joining rooms. Locked doors aren’t the solution Lmaoo, a door won’t stop a high velocity bullet. The cops were outside and were to scared and lacked balls to go in the line of fire. The teachers showed more bravery than the cops. They had a resource officer and he did nothing, they had a good guy with a gun and ir didn’t do anything. We need to stop letting people military weapons so easily, if you want a rifle there should be a requirement like in New Zeland that requires you to have three character witness letters. 18 year olds who are clearly disturbed shouldn’t be able to buy guns so easily
Your professor sounds like a real jerk.
Any armed cop who didn't enter... I have no words. Shame on them, everyone of them.
The fact parents fought to get in there to get their kids.
Some people aren't cut up to be police officers, but they'll be quick to jump the gun if it was one of their partners, brothers/sisters in blue who was getting gunned down
@@robertomurri1278 exactly!! Bro they knew the shooter was in a Elementary school and just stood outside if I was the leader/sheriff etc idk what it’s called I would’ve immediately told everyone to go inside if we see the shooter shoot him with no hesitation you don’t go into a school with elementary innocent kids that’s so messed up that they have to leave the world and not grow up bc of that Demonic demon
I believe the police chief should be held accountable for his decision
meanwhile the teachers are covering the kids from getting shot. That whole department needs to be looked at
this is the absolute WORST protocol I have ever heard of. rule #1, you do NOT respond to ANYONE until the area is cleared. I'm 28 and learned that in elementary school. I can't believe this officer was telling kids to respond to him while there was an ACTIVE SHOOTER roaming the halls. all doors need to be closed and LOCKED. this is just something that never should have happened. and for a state that is "so proud" of their guns, this shooter should have been shot on the SPOT when he was walking AROUND the school with an AR-15 around his neck. just disgusting.
also, current gun laws ARE an issue. if you're not old enough to DRINK at 18, what in the HECK makes you think that an 18 year old SHOULD OWN A GUN?!
Old enough to fight and die in wars. Old enough to vote. Old enough to drive a 4,000lb vehicle at high speeds. Old enough to get married. Old enough to move out on your own. Old enough to own a business.
@@LottoBartoLotto Good points, but not old enough to rent a car. 25 is the age for full brain development. Same age needed to rent a car without crazy additional fees. Something to consider.
@@swissy5608 So should 25 be the age you become an adult? Shouldn’t be able to get a license until you’re 25? Enlist in the military, drink, smoke or vote?
I like Texas's gun laws but it doesn't look like they're using em for good reasons, so much for protection
You can buy a gun at 18 in many other countries. I don't see why you think 18 year olds are insane and dangerous but 21 year olds are angels.
“it’s time to die” that is honestly one of the most chilling things i’ve ever heard especially coming from a young child. may these children’s souls rest in peace and may these parents and survivors heal from this trauma and grief. 🤍
Sadly ther3s no healing from this🥺 just need to find a new way to life
Also told one of the teachers “good night” before shooting her. He also played music during some part of the attack. One of the students described it as “ I want people to die music”.
@@zixzizia1066 what the hell.
@@zixzizia1066 where did you hear this from? Not saying it’s not true I’m just curious.
@@naomieagreda6574 there’s an article from CNN. The girls name is Miah Cerillo, she survived the shooting but she’s clearly very traumatized :(. Warning it’s very disturbing to read
"No known criminal history as an adult."
Are you serious???? He turned 18 years old 9 days before the shooting.
That’s what I was thinking.
he's just another psycho kid who went NUTS. Lost his mind. Hell, not even a kid. Just another lunatic. Had he come at ME with a high-powered gun....it would not end well for him
Chill
I think he ment he was charged as an adult which he didn’t have any charges because you can be tried as an adult even if ur underage
@@cnote4971 I think problem is that there were things that he was doing before he was an adult that should’ve prevented him from obtaining any weapons. Consistent criminal behavior doesn’t stop just because someone turns 18. Of course I do believe that sometimes, a person does need a fresh start but gun dealers do need some info about a minor’s lifestyle to help them make better decisions. Perhaps the parents or guardians need to be contacted if the person is still living at home or maybe have a waiting period after someone applies for a license. We have to take classes in VA, I’m not sure about TX.
The grandma miraculously survived. Shot in the face by her own grandson who went on to kill people’s children. She may never heal from this mentally but I hope she will be able to live peacefully. There is no demon in her house anymore
shes alive?
Where was mom and dad at? Anyone?
@@ChickenMcThiccken hasn’t been confirmed that she died so yes she’s alive. let’s hope that lady survives 🙏🏽
No demon in the house ?don’t forget this society made him when people get constantly bullied in school because of their financial situations it can trigger people don’t forget the society did this !!!!
@@duckingcensorship1037 All we know that he was born and raised in North Dakota and moved to Texas to live with his grandparents
I’m a sophomore in high school right now, and I truly hope that these survivors receive the help that they need to get through this horrific event. I have a lot of anxiety and hearing stuff like this happen more and more paralyzed me with fear, let’s pray to god that we can notice the signs and report them
For everyone in America ❤️
Freshman here let’s gooo
Yes!! I agree with you so much
I'm 47 years old and not in school anymore, but shit, I got your six brother...
Not just for America, but for the people of America, and beyond...
I hope you make it to graduation.
It's absolutely terrible how someone could ever possibly do this to anyone let alone kids. Rest in peace all those kids and people who passed away that day
And to his own grandma, who shoots their own grandma.
@@kellyperry559he did
The part where he said the police said yell if you need help and he overheard and shot her really angered and affected me emotionally. Managed to survive initial onslaught and killed by carelessness of police. Why would you have them give up their hiding positions prior to apprehending or knowing the location of the gunman.
thats what i was thinking. so stupid of the cop to do that 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
JUST FYI That did not happen!!!
@@micheledickey4066 oh my bad i didn’t know you were there…
@@micheledickey4066 until you identify a bonafide source other than caps and exclamation points. I'm going to side with the child who actually went through this tragedy. What purpose does it serve him to lie about what happened? Younger children tend to be unapologeticly honest. Lying for no reason at all usually comes when your older or in politics. Waiting on your source for your comment.
cops probable weren’t thinking 😞 not excusing it, but in such a traumatic situation i don’t think these police were trained properly for something this tragic
Teachers should get more respect. Espesially that they saved kids lives. Teachers should get so much more appreciated because, no matter what, the teachers would try to save the childrens lives instead of theirs. Those two teachers are heroes. RIP to the people who have died, you all are loved.

It's so infuriating that a single worthless loser can destroy and disrupt so many lives
The shooter is trans, it's all over his Instagram but the media is desperately trying to cover it up. I'm not saying that fact is important to the shooting but like...I just think it's weird the media is trying really hard to cover it up lol
You're forgetting about the other three armed worthless losers who failed to stop him from entering the building.
This is why we don't breed *losers* in the first place.
He’s a lowlife
And people are still believe in GOD.
My heart aches so much for those parents that brought their children to school but didn't get a chance to bring them home 😞

I’m so sorry to all the families I pray this never happens again.
More guts than all those coward cops
@@JohnDoe-zg6fn police already waste HOURS sitting in the parking lot, not helping and letting people get shot up. every school shooting, police stay outside way longer than needed. what makes you think an untrained teacher would know what to do when the people we’re supposed to trust don’t even know?
@@GirGunter It’s real simple. But let me draw it for you in crayon since you don’t seem to have the intellect or common sense. You see, I have a gun on me, another person comes into the building I am in and starts shooting people, that person then opens the door to the room I’m in, I have my pistol out and start shooting him. He dies, I go home. I can’t explain it any easier then that.
@@JohnDoe-zg6fn this is crazy talk. The US needs less guns not more
Holy crap. That little boy's account of what happened chilled me down to my soul!!!! So glad he knew to hide and be quiet and listen for help...and brave he taught his friend to do the same.
It’s sad that this is what kids have to learn . That’s what happens when Republicans made it easier to get guns . This little kid is going to have survivors guilt; PTSD and everything else.
@@karinaz8756 they didn't make it easier lol, you stills have to take background checks and not have any felony and this guy didn't have any of that on his record and the Constitutional carry does not change any of that the only thing it changes is that you don't need a permit to carry or training, that is your responsibility to do training and take a gun class like i did, so no its not easy to get a gun.
@@hisup1169 it’s not easy to get a gun? Did you read on how this guy got the guns? Literally a week ago he purchased 2 ARS and hundreds of rounds or ammo. Why is it so easy to access a unnecessary amount of ammo? Let alone TWO Assault rifles. Wake up guns are NOT the solution
@@ec11441able did you not read my comment or are you slow lol and I just brought 300 rounds for my ar and brought one on top of that to go to the shooting range
@@ec11441able so yes its It's necessary if you going to the shooting range and none of those gun laws work cuz someone can get one from the streets if they really want one
the moment I respect a teacher more than a police officer.
my teacher gave us instructions on what to do if an active shooter ever came into our building. he had shelves carefully placed for easy barricades for us students to hide behind while he would fight the attacker with heavy books and even tower PC’s.
well 2 months ago a former student came into the school with a handgun drawn. no shots were fired but he looked into our classroom after we went into lockdown. my teacher held a giant PC tower over his head for 30 minutes at least.
some teachers really do care about your safety
That is amazing, I am so sorry you had to go through that, but your teacher should be applauded for his bravery. Sometimes I think teachers in America are braver than cops.
Then what?
@@timekabolden5309 the police came and took statements
@@theRealUmpZY they ever catch him?!??
That little girl died but her speaking out helped save her classmates. My heart hurts for these poor babies.
How did it help? Are you sure she died?
@@luns486 Yeah she was shot several times including the head. The cop asked the kids to yell help if they need help as a means to bait the shooter so he would be focused on shooting the little girl as they ran up on the shooter to take him out while he was distracted because the cops obviously valued their own lives more that the children and had a higher chance of not getting shot or killed if the shooter was focused on killing the kid
@@luns486 it helped she did not die because the cops said say help if u need help she said help and the gunman found her and got shot and the cops came and shot him but the cops never came in
My friends died
@@afshanmalik4304 was this your school?
Every mass shooter situation we’ve seen had one common goal. To take lives. It’s not a hostage situation. It’s not a robbery. They usually have no exit strategy. They need to be put down quickly and threats should be taken seriously. These brave teachers used their bodies to protect these kids because politicians would not use their power to do the same.
The parkland shooter had a exit strategy but failed also the buffalo shooter had a strategy to make it out alive.
Yeah this is pretty unfounded. This is a little too serious of a subject to be making assumptions. But hey, do you. I’ve learned Americans aren’t in the business of changing their minds.

What are those unarmed parents going to do? I mean those cops had to detain the parents, how incompetent would they look allowing a bunch of unarmed hysterical parents to bumrush into a school not knowing how many shooters there are, where the shooter is, what kind of guns, how many, I mean come on everyone wants to be a hero but more lives don’t need to be needlessly cut down because someone wants to be Superman.
none of them are getting charged too. the fbi wasn't sent in. instead COPS the organization will receive information and reform. it's odd but because no FBI that literally means no convictions. what's worse is they'll hide this in the news by saying
"The department of justice is investigating the situation"
no they're not. they already sent COPS(again not police, but the reform organization) this is meant to mislead you and avoid public backlash but keep in mind they've already sent them and the FBI is NOT investigating this.
people need to know this if they want anyone charged. although COPS could be a good direction to go, these people need to be held responsible and charged. please spread this info

I have no words because his actions spoke for him, but he was probably a victim as well. We as parents have to be on top of our kids and if we see that they are starting to veer off that’s when we need to start asking questions. I know it’s hard to accept and even come to terms that our child may have a psychological mental problem, but we need to address it head-on before it’s too damn late. My heart not only goes out to those who lost their lives, their parents/families, but also to the survivors because they too are victims and are going to need a lot of psychological help for years to come.
"I was hiding hard", said the little boy. No words...so very sad.

Go ahead pray, where was your God when it happened?
@R Singer trust me if god was real i wouldnt be following him for letting atrocities like this happen. I wouldnt be following a god that does nothing when they have the power of everything supposedly. Bull shit i smell, bull shit with the white man in the sky.

Literally don’t give this gunman, or any other, any press or publicity. It shows to others who think similarly to this that they will be remembered and will make a name for themselves. even if it’s infamy, they will still be remembered. And that’s what they want.
I think they want to kill people
Agreed. We should focus strictly on remembering the innocent victims
It won't matter they don't care they're dead. Stop pretending that is the reason this keeps happening in the US. They have news in the UK too.

Any cop that refuses to intervene in an ongoing active shooter situation should lay down his weapons, badge,and equipment so someone with an intact sense of duty can respond.

I'm in shock hearing it from this child, he remembers it horrifyingly well, the gunfire, the sound of his classmate being shot, the relief when the police arrived, no child should ever experience that. The only shard of comfort we have is knowing that waste of air that caused this was destroyed by the boarder patrol agents.
i was looking into a video on i think fox news apparently the cops held the border patrol team from entering but i dont know if it is true yet
There wasn’t any relief when the cops arrived, there may have been relief at first, but was dashed away when the cops just stood around outside of the school for over forty five minutes while hearing gunshots come from the school and parents begging them to enter the school and shoot the gunman!!!

Apparently the person who killed the teenage gunman was one agent who’s wife and kid went to the school and his wife texted him it was a shooting. The agent then got a gun from the barbershop (he was getting haircut at the time) and drove to the school to grab his kid and wife (keep in mind he is off duty) then goes back into the school and kills the gunman.

Edit: I did not know the girl was in another country. But if she did stay instate with the kid yea it would make sense to report them. Idk how people are defending that reporting the person wouldn’t work. That same mentality is what keep these things going.
so the cops can run away?
So if she reported him to the police the moment he texted her he was going to kill his grandma do you think the police were going to be able to stop that and intervene that fast? Wishful thinking.
The girl he texted is someone he knows online who lives in Germany. Maybe she didn’t know how to contact U.S.A. police. Idk
Wonder why He wasnt reported thats really sad !
i agree, only thing is he knew she was in another country so she wouldn't be able to stop him in time. That's probably why he told her
I graduated in 2014, I just can’t wrap my head around how prevalent these shootings are these days. I shed a tear when that little kid was talking. I couldn’t imagine…
Oh god those poor children, teachers, their loved ones, the parents, their friends, and family. Noone should have to go through this. So sad.
This has got to be the saddest thing I've ever heard !!! This little boy is lucky to be alive. My heart breaks for all the lives that were lost! So horrifying what these children and teachers went through. Mostly 4th grade children ! My granddaughter is the same age. I could never imagine ! My heart truly goes out to their families ♥️
@flavio garcia Texas is stupid.
Did you forget about Sandy Hook Sherry?
Yes And Fbi Knows Before Shootings,,they should be in prison!!! Much To Many Shootings, they know about ,,
@flavio garcia maybe everytime it happens it becomes the new saddest thing you've ever heard.
I dunno. The over 200 people the guy who intentionally set the fire in Melbourne, Australia killed was pretty sad. Or the guy who drove the van through that group of people in London? That was pretty sad, at the time.
You can get rid of the guns, but you can't get rid of the crazy.
We just gonna look over how those SAME OFFICERS THAT RAN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILL WEEKS BEFORE THIS TRAGEDY AT UVALDE HIGH WERE ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS AND SCARED WHEN FACED WITH AN ACTUAL SHOOTER.
youve never been in a shooting. trust me, you freeze up, youre scared, and you arent able to speak.
Pigs
Ok Rambo, I’d love to see what you would do in a similar situation
I blame the police not the little 18 year old girl who shot the kids. Police serve and protect? Yea right u chose that pig of a job then they shoulda died to protect them kids.
Where did you get that info?
It’s horrifying to think this can happen to our children! I have two boys finishing 2nd and 6th grade. I’m getting yo the point where I don’t want them in school. I always thought we live in a tiny town where this likely would t happen, but there’s no such place. Every school needs to be outfitted with the latest safety measures to protect our children. Police should be in every school! I’d even take it as far as giving some teachers firearms training and possibly have a gun safe in their classroom. It may sound crazy, but these shootings aren’t stopping and something must be done. It’s bigger than gun laws, anyone can get past those if they want too!
Is there any way we could get official closed captions for those who are disabled/HoH to be able to watch and see the news as well? It only has auto generated.
All I can do is cry about this . As a school teacher my heart breaks for Two teachers who lost their life’s to attempt to save their students . My heart breaks for these young souls who were just growing into their own and lost their life’s. My heart breaks for the young students who survived , they will never NEVER FORGET THIS .. hope they get to seek therapy with the low income families we have in the world today ..

There needs to be an amber alert that goes out on phones and tv whenever there is a gunman on the loose. It could have given teachers the time to lock down the school. That ofcourse is not the only thing that needs to be done but i think it could help.
They shoot black pple right away but can’t shoot losers like this??!
@Me its you definitely the one who's misinformed. Just shut up lol
3 unarmed officers would of course run from a man carrying 2 assault rifles and a bunch of ammo. they don’t have a way to fight back.
A knot in my throat has been formed just by hearing this poor boys story. I'm disgusted with the law enforcement that took Soo long to go in. They need to be fired and sued. I'm so sorry to all the parents who have los their child . If it was my child i would have gone crazy . I can just imagine their pain. May the children and the brave teachers rest in enternal peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
The fact that this isnt even the worst in American history is just sad 🤦
I wish media stopped showing the killer's face, he's been identified and the whole world knows his face, what's the point?
Literally none. Its unecassary. Its uneeded. Just sad af news orgs running stories however they want. How can we make this story interesting and have the highest viewer rating and make the most money.... SAD
You don't get it. The media WANTS this to happen. They're showing other potential and future mass murderers that they will become famous. Without these events like covid, Ukraine war and brink of WW3, mass murder - the media would be nothing.
They need to make him famous to encourage their next headline maker.
The point is without showing their face how will the media know which narrative to push? Same thing with the victims. I doubt the media would be acting the same way if it was a bunch of homeless people. Imagine the two political factions of the media if instead of a school someone walked into a group of detained migrants on the southern border.
why should they stop? he’s dead anyway why do you care!
That little boy speaking breaks my heart. He was braver than the police by the way it sounds. He deserves a badge of honor
We love Salvador Ramos ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every time this event has popped into my head since hearing about it, I truly shutter at the thought of it. I’ve already thought about it randomly 3 times since it happened where it just forces me to stop for a moment and work to block it out. I shouldn’t be shocked after all the shootings, but I am. I woke up the morning after and in my grogginess thought maybe it all was a dream, only to quickly realize as I came to that it wasn’t. To know that as I woke up rested that morning, these poor families wake up to their new hell on earth…it just really has disturbed me.
We need significant changes. No kid should have to fear going to school. It’s a problem we’ve let manifest now for generations. I’ve been out of grade school for probably 8 years now, and back then as a young kid had paranoia about the same exact thing happening to me. Because this has been a very real way to die preemptively for an American kid since the 90’s when Columbine became romanticized.
Prayers for all those babies, teachers, families 😢🙏🙏
I own a gun, I’m all for universal background checks and strict misuse penalties. I don’t want idiots to have guns. The only people who should have guns, should be people with the mental capacity to handle them and the responsibility that comes with them.
This might sting a little so you better sit down before reading this. There are 10 European countries that have a higher rate per capita of mass shootings than the US. These are Norway, Serbia, Finland, Albania, Macedonia, France, Slovakia, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Belgium. Do not believe me. Look it up, search for mass shooting rate per capita by country.
I'm also pro gun and understand the 2nd amendment states our right to own cant be infringed. And I know that amendment was created so we the people can keep the govt in check and revolt if ever necessary. But I also believe in common sense which means I support background checks which include criminal as well as mental history like 72 hr mental holds and things like that.
Which would in part make NO ONE capable of carrying a weapon.
Pro gun owner. I’m all for universal background, et cetera. But this does not fix the mental health issue this murderer was suffering from. We have laws against murder, we have laws about bringing weapons on school grounds, but criminals do not follow the law. Why is this so hard for society to understand? More laws only limit law abiding citizen’s options, criminals welcome greater restrictions.
Wtf is universal back ground checks? Can you name one state that doesn’t trace fbi background checks when buying a gun? If a gun is bought and sold without a background check that’s already a crime. Stfu with your emotions and live in the real world for a day.
Oh my god. Hearing that kid made me want to cry.
Dude, I was bawling
I cried as soon as I heard the shooting happened. I was at work, I fell apart. I can't even imagine what these parents are going through. Just like Sandy Hook
He just made me ugly cry
Pretty hard to listen to
Capitalize “God”
How can an 18 year old walk into a store and purchase 2 AR style rifles and 350 rounds of ammunition without being flagged as suspicious.
the parents have way more balls then those “officers “ this is disgusting i just can’t 💔💔
Thank God they survived. How horrifying what they've been through. They will have problems feeling guilty for surviving their whole life. I hope they get lots of love and help dealing with what they've been through!
This is too sad, the boy is very brave to speak up about what happened.
45 minutes to an hour?!?! Unacceptable so many deaths could’ve been prevented by law enforcement 😭😭😭
That's armed security is needed for every school. You can't rely on law enforcement's incompetency
Why didn’t this person in Germany contact authority’s? So much done wrong here. No one reported his Instagram posts? Nobody went into the school? So sad. If you see something say something and if you can do something do something to help.
How do you expect someone from another country to contact the United States police ?
@@CoCo-ov9ebyou contact your police, then they contact the United States FBI or that towns/city's department. Other countries will do this for each other, it's a way to help control terrorist attacks, domestic or foreign.
Imagine losing your baby the you one want to protect the most and sending them to school thinking they must be learning something new today and making new friends. And this happens and it hurts not having control over the situation to be able to stop or protect them. omg i pray for those parents this is heartbreaking . 💔 🥺🥺
how did an 18 y/o living with his gma have 2 brand new daniel defense ar15 rifles (worth $5,000) plus ammo, plus optics, with body armor and a $70,000 F250 pickup? how did he just WALK in the school that had security measures in place?
we need to start protecting our children like we protect our politicians, banks, jewelry stores, etc.
I think there’s a article that says he got them illegally
THIS.
Wow never realized how money is more protected by children wow….
He worked at Wendy's and bought them legally according to Texas law.
Too busy interfering in uterus politics. Fetuses more valuable than actual living kids.
Why did the shooter have so much time? Time is everything in these situations. The more time the shooter has the more lives he takes. It is so heartbreaking.
80 minutes. The cop in parkland was charged for inaction and it only took them 11 minutes to get inside.
1.5 hrs almost. It’s almost as if they heard about the shooting then said, “wait i have 80 minutes of my lunch left.” cowards. or wait, let me refrain, whoever led those cops or is in charge is the coward, i’m sure a good amount of those officers wanted to get in and end the threat asap
Yes, normally they have 5 minutes at most
I’m pretty sure the police waited on purpose to prove to the people that guns should be banned? I don’t know about the ban part but I can believe the police probably waited on purpose due to how society is nowadays lol. I’ve heard from this from my older brother so I don’t know if it’s true.
The responders at parkland took only 10 minutes to respond and they were still too late. This is just shameful
The sad part is few kids kept calling 911 begging operator to send in Police, not knowing they are (19 fully armed) already outside her classroom. 😰😰
Imagine the pain before these children passed, some probably still alive just there bleeding out with no one to help them. This is horrible.
Sadly, for too many homicidal young people, the real question seems to be, "Why not?" because our society makes mass shootings look so easy. I am saddened for every family and community member affected. Not to mention, petrified that another homicidal young person is watching and preparing to copy this crime. 😭
Parents need to start being there for their kids. Statistics show kids raised in single/no parent households are more likely to be in jail, do drugs, fail school, etc........alot of PARENTS are setting their kids up for failure, then wonder why something like this would happen......🤷♂️
@@fkUTube449 I really don't get what an 18 year old would need an assault rifle for. I'm not so familiar with the laws in Texas, but I think there should be some sort of tiers of gun ownership. For instance, first 2 years of having a license you are allowed the purchase of a single handgun. Then maybe in the next two year window you may purchase a second handgun, and in the next maybe you can purchase a shotgun or rifle. After you've proven you can responsibly own a single lesser powered firearm initially, then you can move up.
@@MazDanRX795 You do know most shootings are done with handguns, right? Same with gang and other criminal activity, handguns are far more desirable than rifles or shotguns.
@@drownsinkoolaid4203 I have little doubt most shootings involve only handguns. But not mass shootings. One step at a time, here.
Besides, you're referring to criminals. They don't follow the law. Obviously this wouldn't apply to them either way.
@@MazDanRX795 " besides your referring to criminals, they don't follow the law" oh my God the lack of self awareness is actually unbelievable from you.
This is example why TEACHERS SHOULD GET PAID WAY MORE, they’re life is on the line as well
How is paying teachers more going to prevent school shootings? Teachers aren't supposed to be fighting for their lives they're just there to teach. This happened because of major inconvenience.
Most def didn’t say anything about it stopping shooting but they’re putting their life on the line as we see, so yes they do deserve better pay !!! As they watch over our kids lives and theirs !!!
@@rieshodbaines4916 Everyone is at risk at their jobs everyday. But no one pays them more this isn't supposed to happen at a school. Instead of paying the teachers more for no reason just pay for higher security in the school
One of the teachers propped the damn door open, letting the shooter in. Totally against school policy and endangered the entire school. Those doors were locked for a reason. No amount of security is going to override stupidity.
If teachers get paid more you need to make it harder to be a teacher. Most slack off and don't actually teach and 20% are pedos. Coming from a high schoolwr
It's heartbreaking because now, this year at my school the door locks automatically and we have to wait, check the window then open the door..
We had one in Australia not long ago and im still scared to go to school incase this happened my prays are going for them teacher parents and kids
That little boy telling the story broke my heart. There are no words strong enough to describe how truly disgusting and horrific this is. RIP to all those little babies and to their families who now have to live with that day for the rest of their lives.
I'm from South Africa,watching Johnny Depp trial and this pops up...did they kill that sick,sick murderer of evil?
We love Salvador Ramos ❤️❤️❤️❤️
To me it looks like the conversation from the one receiving the messages is erased? It's obvious this shooter was getting replies, he even asked or said "what"
Yeah I didn't understand why he asked "what" either. Like he was talking with the girl back and forth. But wouldn't deleted messages be labeled "message deleted"? You could still see that there was something deleted from there. Maybe this was a different messaging app.
what would that matter? Nothing "comcerning" was said until 18:21 so if there were erased messages before this was said what would be the significance??
@@DesertStateNevada It’s on imessage (the messaging app for iphones). On imessage you can’t see when you delete a message.
@@mr.j4924 just trying to make sense out of the texts they're showing so it matters to me and I'm here expressing myself as everyone else
This is so heartbreaking ❤️
There was a school shooting threat at my school the police and teachers searched his bag and found nothing I’m honestly scared to go back next year
Damn I'm so saddened by this I count my simple blessings in the Caribbean and my heart goes out to the US. Those poor kids didn't deserve such pain.
Your blessing could be shortened by an accident, medical etc..... back handed sympathy.
Poor babies. May they rest in heaven.
Literally ruined it. Its pretty disgusting to bring religion into tragedy. Hopefully you can actually see that. Like it just is.
@@alexlink4623 God loves you
Less God in peoples lives has resulted in more mass shootings.
@@stephen902 You somehow missed the last 1000 years of christian history
For a long time I was on the fence when people die and people say it’s ok their in heaven. But it’s not ok to those parents who lost their children. If there was a god why did he let this happen why not intervene. What happened god. Where are all the angels to protect these children. Please don’t say this they way god want it be because it doesn’t make sense I believe in science now that something is really messed up with these peoples minds that makes them do these type of things that no one has an answer for.
Someone is setting this all up. This world is literally GTA V.
How did he get into the school so easily?? No one is addressing that!
A door was unlocked
@@reddraws1072 Well how convenient! Don’t you think that’s a bit odd that he chooses that particular school. And of all the doors on the school, he just happens to find the one door that was open. Something very fishy here folks.
Once again… Police scared to face a REAL threat! This makes me angry.
The SCOTUS has affirmed multiple times that the police have 0 duty to protect you. You are the only person responsible for your safety. But let's keep disarming everyone and make it so only coos have guns
Do they EVER do anything besides show up afterwards and pat themselves on the back?
Lmao charging a rifle wielding person that's in a defensive position while you only have a couple officers armed with handguns is begging to get more people killed
white men? scared? no way!
And people think these teachers are somehow going to be able to stop these armed tactical shooters when they barely train
God bless this brave child and the families of the victims who’s lives were taken so horribly. As a lifelong Texan, this is absolutely gut wrenching.
Your comment doesn’t mean shit.
Let’s march
Also Texas sucks.
@@jollyranch31 if Americans did something about the gun laws, you wouldn’t need to be on a public forum grieving babies butchered at school.
You all need to wake up!
To here that little boy speak his truth. Breaks my heart
bro i be texting my homies as a joke “just shot my grandma in the head” “finna shoot up an elementary school” this dude musta took it a little serious
It's strange that in a state where all the "good guys have guns" no one saved the children. Not even the police. They sat there for an hour to keep themselves safe instead of trying to save children.
Then who shot the guy?
Our laws may allow us to defend ourselves but there are still many who still prefer to be 🐑
School was a gun free zone. Arm and protect our schools. Then these thing will happen way less. Period
considering most law enforcement mentality is to just “make it back home.” it makes a lot of sense
Why are you politicizing a shooting to push one party’s policy ?
I see those kids and I see my cousins and siblings… I can’t believe someone would be capable of this. I can’t imagine what the parents must be going through. Rest In Peace to these brave kids. We need to start having at least 4 officers at each school they need to make this mandatory. You can’t have 500 kids in one area and not have the means to protect them…
How bout more restrictions on gun laws and closing the loopholes? Nothing has been done and it will continue to be like this if there are no tough gun laws. They’re not trying to take away your guns.
@@robertmilazzo3251 exactly
@@robertmilazzo3251 ya maybe. That would be nice. But you'd still need a plan in place for those bad people that don't obey laws.
All that would do is ensure those 4 officers die first.
@@robertmilazzo3251 they have tried and tried to tak guns away… thing is there is too many guns out there to get them all back and stop stuff like this from happening. There will always be events like this… if not with guns they will find another way. What we can do is stay protected and those you love. People may not like guns but it’s evident we need them to protect from evil such as
Had My Friend told me he shot his own grandmother & was going to shoot up a school after, I would of immediately called the police and warned them 🤦🏽♀️😔
Yeah but this girl he was talking to looks like an edgy internet bitch probably liked the fact that he was insane and obviously deleted messages between the two of them
R.I.P to all the students that died in that day of shooting, I’m sad 😞
Hearing that little boys account was absolutely chilling. Has me praying for him and his mental health going forward.
Who's gonna receive your prayers? God? According to religion fanatics he only gives people free will, he doesn't interfere with the course of events in our world. So praying won't change anything, right?
the police are evil

This is very scary the fact that people think it's fun is just insane
Listening to that little boy recall those events was highly shocking. These children should have never been put in these positions! It is way too easy for the wrong people to get their hands on such weapons.
Wow, what a substantial little man. To have witness such atrocity and still be brave enough to hold it all together and give the real story. I commend his parents for raising such a alert, responsive, smart, and empathetic little boy. It's horrible what he went through, but this kid sounds like he will dominate the future.
They all play video games that desensitize them to gore and violence for hours on end. Not exactly surprising
