More from NBC 4 Washington:
A student pulled a gun out and shot two other students at a high school in southeast Maryland Tuesday morning before the shooter was wounded, the St. Mary’s County sheriff said.
The gunman entered Great Mills High School in Great Mills, Maryland, at the beginning of the school day and opened fire in a hallway, Sheriff Tim Cameron said. A girl and boy were injured in the shooting.

CC Broward County Sheriff’s Office. This is how it’s supposed to work:
The SRO took action.
The SRO limited the injuries.
The SRO did his / her job.
Unlike the Broward Country SRO at MSD in Parkland. https://t.co/fTI48fa8JI
