In the last month, Memphis, Tennessee, has experienced multiple shooting incidents, including a mass shooting that left a 22-year-old man dead and five others injured. The shooting occurred during a community violence intervention program, and the police are investigating the incident.

Sure! Let the former Marine/history teacher/football coach keep a gun in his office so when the shooter comes in blazing on the other side of campus, Coach can lug his paunchy self over there and lay it all on the line in front of an AR 15. Love this thoughtful plan.
