They should hire her to be in charge of school security. She has more cojones than all 19 of the cop bystanders.

She's a petite woman who was willing to go into that mess to get her kids out, no gun, no protective gear no nothing. And sounds like she allowed the whole class to escape as well. Meanwhile the cops in protective gear carrying assault rifles were too afraid they might get hurt and then threaten her if she talks to the media. It's pathetic.

Mothers are serious about their offspring - mess with any animal's young and find out.

Brava lady! You rock.

They were more aggressive to us that to the killer.
Ah well!

There is another interesting aside.

For the entire first stand-up segment, the location is identified as Tulsa on the screen.

The media can't even keep them straight anymore since they are coming so fast and furious.

Very brave mom.
Besides cops being utter cowards, it sounds as if they are trying to keep witnesses like her from coming forward (threatening her with decade-long-ago "probation&quot . Much more to this story; hope DOJ gets full facts.

heads should be rolling. dereliction of duty? depraved indifference? law enforcement went to lunch while a mass murder took place within earshot. it's incomprehensible.

i remember when my kids were in school in CA - mass shootings at schools were the last thing we feared. Earthquakes is what we feared. The school sent out a plan to all parents about what to do in the event of a big one. They said "do not come to the school" and I remember laughing at that directive. My ex and I made plans because one of us would go get the little one at day care while the other went to the school. Of course we would go.

My heart just aches. for all the dead and for all of their loved ones. it was a terrible crime to begin with, but it was clearly exacerbated by the inaction of LE. worse than a parent's worst nightmare.
