School shooting question

[Blaster]

I need some information on a school shooting where one of the teachers retrieved a firearm from their vehical and stopped the shooter. I think it happened in the south. Anyone know about this incident? Thanks

Blaster,
Do a search on "Pearl Mississippi school shooting" and you should find it right away. (Something in the back of my mind thinks it might be Pearle, but I don't remember for sure.)

Joel Myrick, assistant principal was the guy that retrieved the gun from the parking lot.

It also happened at that law school shooting (?) where two guys got their guns and stopped the shooter. Too lazy to search for it but that aspect was completely ignored by the mass media.

In a Pennsylvania case, a home owner with a shotgun apprehended the shooter. I think Lott says it has happened about 30% of the time that a citizen with a firearm helped save the day.

In the Texas Tower shooting, once the citizens started shooting at Whitman, there were no more killings.

The incident that GEM refers to occured in Grundy, Virginia. Funny how the mainstream press conveniently omits the off-duty officer who retrieved his firearm from his car.....here are quick couple of hits from Yahoo....
