Coach who died shielding kids in the Florida shooting.

Football coach Aaron Feis threw himself in front of students as bullets hailed down Wednesday at his alma mater, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
It would become perhaps the final act undertaken by the assistant coach and security guard, who suffered a gunshot wound and died after he was rushed into surgery.
"He died the same way he lived -- he put himself second," Lehtio said. "He was a very kind soul, a very nice man. He died a hero."

Feis escorted the kid I heard interviewed (who ran to Walmart, then home as the shooting was still going on) off campus and then went back to help other kids.
He knew the situation from the outset, had a chance to leave and ended up going back. Not sure I would have that kind of courage.
I think it would be a good step and would help the problem. In a situation where some aspects can't or won't be changed, this measure may make kids think twice before attempting the act.
When someone walks into a room with a gun and intends to hurt a bunch of unarmed civilians, that person is a bully and a coward. That same person wouldn't dare try to take their rage out on the same group of people by attempting to kill them using only their bare hands. Bully, complete coward...every civilian shooter falls into the category.
By letting potential bullies know that there isn't a clear path to the art room, or the history class...and there is someone present who probably has more skill than you and a similar weapon at the ready, would likely lessen the attempts or at worst, force the potential shooter into changing their plan.
It's a step and that's 1000x better than saying - Oh well, another shooting. Can't do much about them..

Hey, you convinced one lefty ...the proposed action does a lot for both the kids and teacher's peace of mind, as well as helping the veterans themselves.
The only shortcoming I can see is if Little Jimmy decides to yuk it up with his water pistol and the onhand school guard sees a threat..
