Congrats to the NRA and "Pro-Life" GOP.. Another School Shooting to Celebrate/Fundraise Off Of..

Teen, woman killed in shooting at south St. Louis high school. Suspect dead.

That is partly because the police response was much better than it was in Uvalde. Around 14 minutes passed from the first 911 call to the moment when officers killed the teen shooter in a gunfight. But during those agonizing moments in between, the killer’s rampage was likely slowed by the actions of a 61-year-old grandmother in glasses who did something that scores of young male cops at Uvalde with guns and body armor did not.

Jean Kuczka, a health and physical education teacher, confronted the St. Louis gunman and sacrificed her own life in a confrontation that likely bought time for her students to scurry out of harm’s way. She didn’t pause to think about “what’s the safest way to do this?” or slowly ponder the situation with some “bro.”

She acted. Kuczka was a schoolteacher who gave everything for her kids — in life and in death.
