It is not yet clear wheather the shooter died of the officer’s bullet or killed himself. Deputy Gaskill had responded to the scene and taken control of the situation in less than a minute.

This is the 17th time, the school shooting in the U.S. has taken place since January 1; following Parkland High School shooting where gunman Nikolas Cruz had shot dead 17 people all with bullets.

This quick response of Deputy Gaskill can be contrasted to Parkland sheriff Scot Peterson’s decision to stay outside the premise and not engage the gunman during the shooting.

Scot later resigned after was suspended without pay for his inaction. Parkland massacre would have a different scenario if the officer had engaged and taken action immediately as he was trained.
