Students at a California high school tackled a gunman and managed to take his weapon from him after he brandished it at the school, police said.
La Habra High School went on lockdown Tuesday morning after a student yielded a .22 caliber gun in the school, according to a statement from La Habra police. However, two freshmen in the class ran up to him, wrestled him and got the weapon out of his hands, Sgt Jose Rocha told ABC News on Wednesday.The high school, located in Orange County, later lifted the lockdown.Police said a student was detained and a weapon was recovered at the scene.
It was not immediately clear if the student was trying to show off the handgun or sell it, however it was not loaded, according to police.Calls to the district attorney's office on whether the student is facing charges were not returned.
MIGHT BE A FAKE NEWS REPORT
See. People can be the hero without a gun to stop the gunman. People say “I carry my gun in case a gunman comes along” when 9/10 that doesn’t happen. You can stop a gunman without a gun. Proud of these teenagers
Good guys without guns?
Good for them
I'm happy that they got the gunman but WHAT THE HELL!! No teenager should be tackling gunmen at school.
Children should not be saving lives in schools as far as guns are concerned. Period.
🔥👍❤️
Good guys without guns.
Students really shouldn't have to do that.
It doesn't have to be like this. We could always lean in to that whole 'well-regulated' thing. Crazy thought, I know.
Great and brave....love you for saving Lives! Thanks you!
Just shows you don’t need more guns to stop guns!
Guns should not be something school kid have to worry about😡
LadyLisaDCantu1 Just last weekend alone in Chicago,3 were killed and 25 people were struck by gunfire, but you democrats never seem to mention that!
Bravo! for courage but very risky courage. Hope she is well.
Awesome
Those kids are heroes. It's too bad they had to be.
Good ...get that mfer
Coming from ABC it might have just been a tackle from a football game .... they get mixed up easily
And they didn't even need a good guy with a gun 🤷 Great job!
