[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3293283, member: 745"] Well, if you think about this, the kid brought the gun into the school in his backpack. That means he had to retrieve it from the backpack. Sixteen seconds is not a mere blip in time. A lot can happen in sixteen seconds. I was able to run a hundred yards in less than sixteen seconds at his age. Was the clock ticking from the first shot or from the moment he drew the gun from his backpack? Did each shot hit someone? If so, it shows he had the time and took the time to aim. Obviously, no one chose to tackle the kid. Given 5 seconds for someone to realize what was happening, or having seen the pistol being drawn, the carnage could have been limited. Teaching our kids to run in such instances likely causes more kids to be shot. Too much flight and not enough fight. Your hindsight might vary from mine. Woody [/QUOTE]
