Armed School Resource Officer Mark Dallas Shoots Student Who Open Fired At Dixon High School
The LEFT will say that we don’t need guns in or near our schools. Haven’t they figured it out that gun-free zones are the perfect targets for insane and mentally ill individuals who want to commit mass violence with the least resistance?
So glad the security officer was locked and loaded. God bless this hero!
