The officers who stopped an active shooter at a Nashville elementary school this week did exactly what they were supposed to do. That's according to at least 2 veteran police chiefs in Salt Lake County who viewed body camera video.

NASHVILLE — The officers who stopped an active shooter at a Nashville elementary school on Monday did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Chris Burbank, vice president of law enforcement strategy for the Center for Policing Equity and former chief of the Salt Lake City Police Department, says "without a doubt," the quick actions of the officers in Tennessee saved lives. After the mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999, law enforcement agencies across the nation were trained on forming emergency action teams. The first three to four officers who arrive at the scene of an active shooter form a team whose goal is to essentially "go to where the problem is," Burbank said.

The hurried nature of an emergency team puts officers in a little more danger than a normal standoff situation, he said. Adding: "That's what has to be done."

Duh

It's about time the police got off their butts. So many times they just sit outside in total safety and wait until the shooters run out of ammo. It was great to see some people actually doing their job.

Yup they used sound tactics to stop TransTerrorism

They shouldn't have to do it in the first place. But you know, the USA values money more than children's lives. Thoughts and prayers and do nothing.

They should send the body cam footage over to the Uvalde PD. They need to take some notes. It was textbook. Fearless and professional.

And yet 6 lives were lost

Most of us already know. But what weapon stopped the was/were, and did rhe AR shoot itself?

Great job, officers.

Trans pride

Nashville School shooting live updates: Three children and two adults are pronounced deadLATEST: The Nashville Christian school shooter was a female, believed to be a teen, and was armed with at least two 'assault-type rifles' and a handgun, officials say. REPEAL THE SECOND AMENDMENT!! Great. Another school shooting. Like Prohibition, the 2nd Amendment has outlived its usefulness. Repealing it wouldn't make guns illegal, but it'll make them far easier to regulate. The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact. Repeal the 2nd Amendment! Thank the GOP for making our schools “safer” with reasonable gun laws. The disgusting party that continues to ignore mass shootings that kill our kids and grandkids.
