'I was hiding in the corner, and they were right outside the door. I had my hand on a metal baseball bat just in case. Cuz I was going to go down fighting if I was going to go down,' sixth-grader Nate Holley said.

During an appearance on CNN Wednesday, a sixth-grade student at STEM Highlands Ranch recounted his experience during the shooting that occurred at his school in Colorado on Tuesday.

Baldwin then asked Holley to describe what happened when the shooting began, and Holley explained that due to"sensitive ears" he heard the shots and froze at the sound. The Highlands Park shooting is the 12th shooting that has occurred on a school campus since January 2019, and the 42nd shooting to occur since August 2018, according to the K-12 Shooter Database. On Wednesday's show, Baldwin shared statistics as she sat silently next to a television monitor that displayed the numbers of school shootings and deaths due to gun violence, along with clips of parents and others in Highlands Park reacting to Tuesday's shooting.

Now the press is glorifying children having to fight to save their own lives rather than focusing on the fact that Republicans have created a deadly hostile environment by allowing unregulated gun ownership. Freedumb.

I fucking love this kid!

Real good! So media outlets, except FOXNoNews keep calling for gun legislation but glorify a 12 year old talking about “he was going down fighting.” Isn’t that what gun owners say they want to do?
