On Tuesday there was an all to familiar nightmare that shook Littleton Colorado. A gunman stood outside a school in Littleton taking shots at students. It is extremely lucky for everyone that the schools math teacher David Benke was able to keep his wits about him. He was able to recognize that the gunman was using a bolt action rifle, and that he would have enough time between shots to get close enough to take him down. And that is exactly what he did, he was able to tackle the gunman until police could arrest him. Benke says that after the first shooting the school system did training drills for this kind of thing, he said if the situation ever came up again he would want to do what he could to help. Even though Benke was able to get the gunman to the ground, he still wishes he could have done more because two kids were shot before he could get to the shooter. Both students will recover from their injuries.
This same town got turned upside down 11 years ago when we all heard about the Combine school shooting. Luckily no life was lost during this incident, and the gunman... he is facing to charges of attempted murder.
