Well look at that, an armed person at a school stopped a possible massacre.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - A 14-year-old student was wounded on Thursday in a shooting outside a middle school in Atlanta and police said another student was arrested in the latest outbreak of gun violence in a U.S. school.
The afternoon shooting occurred outside Price Middle School in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither the wounded student nor the suspected shooter were identified by authorities.
Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Erroll Davis and Police Chief George Turner said at a news conference that multiple gunshots were fired from a small-caliber handgun outside the main school building.
One of the gunshots grazed the 14-year-old on the back of the neck but his injury was not life-threatening. He was expected to be released from hospital by Thursday evening, Davis said.
The shooter was disarmed and taken into custody minutes after the incident by an off-duty Atlanta police officer, Turner said. He said the off-duty police officer, who was armed, works at Price Middle School as a so-called resource officer, providing security.
Davis said a teacher's aide was slightly injured in the confusion that followed the shooting, but he offered no further details.
Police said they did not know how the shooter got his gun or what his motive was, but Turner said charges would be filed against him.
A national debate has raged over gun control in the United States since the shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school in December.

Reuters is pretty damn mainstream.
resource officer
By mainstream I meant news channels such as CNN/MSNBC
That article that you posted said it was a cop.
Reuters doesn't qualify in your definition of mainstream??
Should have clarified mainstream by saying television. I've yet to see a mention of it on any news channels. And yes I know he was a cop, but he wasn't an on duty "cop" while at the school was my point.
Not surprised in the least bit it's just a bunch of nitpicking from the liberal and not a single acknowledgment that an armed person just saved a bunch of kids lives.
I acknowledge an armed person apprehended the shooter. I also dismiss your attempt to portray this as an example of media bias.

I'll have to take your word for it on the cable news networks, because I don't watch that .
” Outside the school, Laquanda Pittman said she still hasn't heard from her sixth-grade son. She said she heard the news of the shooting on TV and immediately came to the school.”

Do you think he pointed a gun at the shooter?And yes I know he was a cop, but he wasn't an on duty "cop" while at the school was my point.
It's not clear.
This looks like NBC to me:
It was on WABC here in New York...
Even made it to an Argentina's newspaper (which happens to link to the NBC video)

CNN...
Can't find a report from the Military channel though...
this is what happens when you try that against someone who's armed and not a bunch of kids in a GUN FREE ZONE pussy s
Glad to see it's getting some attention now. I didn't see anything on the news when I found out, but I also didn't watch the news for more than an hour. What were the news stories focused on? Did they downplay the armed man who ended the shooting? Phone batteries about to die, won't be able to watch the videos, will try later tonight.
The spanish story says a suspect was apprehended... the rest I didn't watch...
"The MSM won't touch it" is usually a factually troubled premise. The OP appears to be no exception to the rule of thumb: guys who say the MSM won't cover it are shown to be wrong almost 100% of the time.
in this case m>s failed at delivery
unless wire services don't count somehow . . .
. . . and at any rate, ElNono subsequently trounced you.
lol
Well, it went from 'MSM won't report it' to 'did they tell the story the way I wanted to'... apparently saying 'a cop' is not kosher, it has to be 'a man with a gun'...
let's arm the kids
you jumped the gun
