Well, pack it in, NRA. Shannon Watts has finally got you!
According to new details released from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s office, Great Mills High School shooter Austin Wyatt Rollins died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head after he was confronted by armed school resource officer Deputy First Class Blaine Gaskill:
At 7:57 a.m., he approached classmate Jaelynn Willey, 16, and shot her once in the head with his father’s Glock 9-millimeter pistol. That bullet also struck 14-year-old Desmond Barnes in the leg.
After firing the handgun, Rollins kept walking through the school, where he was confronted by school resource officer Deputy First Class Blaine Gaskill just after 8 a.m. Their weapons went off simultaneously 31 seconds later, with Rollins shooting himself in the head and Gaskill shooting Rollins in the hand, officials said.
The shot Rollins fired was fatal, according to the sheriff’s office.
And according to Watts, that “destroys the NRA’s narrative” or something:
Well, this destroys the @NRA’s narrative. A teen took his father’s loaded gun to school to fatally shoot his ex-girlfriend and himself. The armed guard did not dissuade him from carrying out the crime, nor did it ultimately stop him from doing so.https://t.co/eiVXxyGss6

What now, Joy?
Yes, the bad guy killed himself when the guard showed up and shot him at the exact same time. Not a deterrent? LOLok. https://t.co/HiRARDIV9Y

When good guys show up, the bad guys kill themselves. What a coincidence that he offed himself right as the guard also fired. So you’re saying the armed guard was not a deterrent, sure, go with that. https://t.co/ejQqvaRvR5

He went to school to do one thing: Fatally shoot his ex-girlfriend and then kill himself. Mission accomplished, despite the presence of an armed school resource officer. The NRA's experiment of forcing 300 million guns into circulation with very little regulation fails AGAIN. https://t.co/4XklshTQS6

An armed and highly trained school resource officer shot a stationary target in the act of committing suicide and still only managed to shoot the teen gunman in the hand. AFTER he had already shot his ex-girlfriend, who later died.
That’s a win to the @NRA. https://t.co/hSe1VpxIAH

Does anyone else get the feeling that Shannon Watts is happy that Rollins managed to kill someone before Gaskill confronted him? Seems like she’s treating that as a win for her cause. Which is super-ghoulish.
Woman, you are a dingbat. He killed himself rather than get in a confrontation with the SRO. Please delete your account. At this point you're just embarrassing yourself. https://t.co/hVnhJbzi0s
