Three students at a Maryland high school are in critical condition Tuesday morning after one male student brought a handgun to school and shot a female student while striking another male student.
Some will argue that this was another “gun-free zone,” but it wasn’t, actually; there was an armed SRO in the school and the officer apparently reacted quickly and appropriately to the situation. The SRO at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., by comparison, turned the school into a gun-free zone when he failed to respond to alleged shooter Nikolas Cruz.
