Armed ‘Teacher of the Year’ Opens Fire in School
President Trump’s proposal to arm teachers seemed nutty enough even before a second former high school teacher of the year was arrested for firing a gun inside his school.
Both teachers were in Georgia, which generally prohibits people from carrying firearms on school grounds.
The first was a star math instructor at Lithia Springs High School, 25 miles from Atlanta. He fired one bullet from a handgun in what may have been a suicide attempt back in August.
The second was on Wednesday, when a star social studies teacher at Dalton High School, 90 miles from Atlanta. He was arrested for barricading himself in his classroom and firing a shot with a handgun for reasons yet to be determined

If we give guns to teachers in schools, I'm sure the vast majority will not go around shooting them off when the situations does warrant it. It will probably only be a few-- perhaps only 5% or so.
So if you have kids in school-- nothing to worry about!
Alternative headline which explains why he shot his gun:
"Hero teacher defends school against crazed gunman he saw in the reflection from a window."
I'm not surprised that occasionally an armed teach will shoot off a firearm. (After all, this was the second former high school teacher of the year who was recently arrested for firing a gun inside his school.
But given that fact, what does surprise me is that so many people actually believe that arming teachers is just honky-dory...
(BTW: Why do you think this man smiling?)
