Suspected Colo. School Gunman Was Inside Building Hours Before Shooting

This article is about a true hero. A math teacher tackles a school shooter. Benke is the man of the hour. He confronted the school shooter, tackled him, and pinned him to the ground with the help of another teacher. The only thing Benke had to say was the he was upset that the shooter got another shot off before he could grab him. He also stated that the shooter figured out that he wasn't going to be able to get another round off before he got to him, so the shooter dropped the gun and they started struggling. Now Benke has become a national hero. A facebook page called "Dr. David Benke..A true hero!" quickly grew 17,000 members by wednesday morning Benke's actions were discussed on the floor of the state Senate.

I think there should be more teachers out there like him! I loved this article.

I think as a teacher you should risk your life to help save the students. This is the first time in a school shooting I have heard of anybody putting thier life on the line to save the students lives.
