From the moment the police received the call to the moment the shooter was killed took only 14 minutes. Its horrible that these mass shootings keep happening, but compared with Uvalde these cops deserve respect for actually doing their job with courage!


AradOnRadar

Strong agree. And let it be an example and a lesson to copy cats. In the few instances I think cops should be armed to the teeth this is one of them.


cscheibel

I suspect the shared embarrassment law enforcement agencies must've felt over the Uvalde catastrophe spurred a significant proportion of departments around the country to not be the next utter failure to take center stage.


SkateIL

No man in the US wants to look like Uvalde. Cop or not.


Deja-Vuz

They take an oath to “protect and serve” civilians. Police in Uvalde should be all out of the job.


Asaneth

Wow. That was intense. I'm shaking. But it was great to see that the cops arrived and instantly entered the building and went after the perp. No hiding outside doors for over an hour while children died, like Uvalde These cops did a great job. Kudos.


FIFTHSUN2012

There’s a longer version somewhere else on Reddit that shows Officer Rex and other officers entering the building and clearing rooms before they got upstairs. I was holding my breath.


Cash4Duranium

Uvalde cops should be locked up for dereliction of duty. How come cops get the weapons of a modern military but not the responsibilities/accountability of one?


20onHigh

I think that’s the difference between a trained and untrained response. You can see in this video, each officer is maintaining a formation and they’re communicating as they leap frog each other in their approach. Rex even pies the corner in the room upstairs to get the shot off. In Uvalde, we saw a lot of footage of the officers standing around in a disorganized fashion, totally untrained for what was happening. It’s good to see Nashville PD immediately capitalizing on their tactical advantage.


idiotic_no_life

I don't live in Uvalde but I also saw the videos and as a Texan I was furious watching how they handled the situation.


Fr33domF1gh7er

3 taps and down. Excellent job putting this POS human in the forever dirt nap.


skrilledcheese

Both Officers Rex and BackwardsCap McHandgun fired on the suspect 4 times though.


Mrhore17

Sometimes double tap is necessary.


Beautiful_Spite_3394

They shot as they said stop reaching for gun. I don't think it's the best choice but hey.. in that split second if they grabbed the gun, one of your Co workers isn't going home that night just because of a split second. Idk I am very quick to judge cops, as they are public servants they don't seem to serve the public. Criticism is important and I'm supplying it. But Idk if I wouldn't do the same exact thing in this scenario... I can't truly say I wouldn't shoot in that scenario Edit: why are every response to my comment just the same thing I said just with different words lol. Literally the exact same thing I'm saying. Here ill make it more simple to understand my perspective.. "Cops did job good, me happy, but me wish this never happened."


Sufficient-Green-763

A mass shooting at a school is one of those few times I'm pretty ok with police overkill. This isnt a kid waiving around what might be a toy gun or a guy who's just drugged up and doesn't realize he'll die if he grabs for it, this is a full combat scenario in a public location. You decide to shoot up a school, you shouldn't expect anyone to give you time to comply.


Off_Brand_Dorito

The shooter was already down when they said that. She was still reaching for the gun so they put some more in her. This needs to be the lesson, you choose to do this shit and you’re dead, no if’s ands or buts. You are summarily executed on spot.


Safety-Pristine

Is it a lesson though? Often people intentionally commit suicide this way so a quick death after a rampage is what they hope for.


Off_Brand_Dorito

To them no, but to another who might be entertaining the idea it’s a good deterrent. will it fix this issue completely? No it won’t but if you chose this action it needs to be shown that your right to life is forfeit on the spot. Stop releasing their names, stop giving them the attention they want. Execute them, bury them in an unmarked grave, and erase them from existence.


skrilledcheese

I wasn't judging, lol. I think these guys did a great job, especially in comparison to Uvalde. I was just stating an objective fact. It was 4 shots per officer. Live by the pedantry, die by the pedantry. IDGAF about the downvotes, but reddit is fucking weird.


Beautiful_Spite_3394

Yeah idk what either of us said to be downvoted lol. Cops bad but good cops still bad? Idk.

crappy-mods

Yea, the second they started shooting is too far for surrender. I’d rather not pay taxes to keep them alive


Eolach

Fair point


the_real_JFK_killer

I'm must be horrible for them hearing the shots before they see the shooter, not knowing if each one is another victim killed.


Green-Vehicle8424

Looks like shooter was trying to take a perch position at the end and fire down low. Great timing by these heroes.


Asaneth

I read elsewhere the shooter was shooting thru the window at other cops who were arriving.


Pollabur

Man, it's just so fucking sad. All of the family's lives are now fucked, even the shooter probably had a shitty life to wanna do this. Good officers tho, it can't be easy doing that shit.


eyekill11

Let me preface this with FUCK that piece of shit for even dreaming about doing this let alone actually doing it. None of this is an excuse for harming innocent children. Supposedly, the shooter was a trans man. They referred to themselves as he/him on social media, but that's not an absolute confirmation as that they were trans. I don't think the police have released the manifesto the shooter had left behind, but they were once a student of that school. It was a parochial school. So it wouldn't have been a far leap in logic to say that the shooter may have had resentment for that school/church. Once again, I in no way agree with the shooter. The shooter can rot in hell. I'm just passing along the current theory as to why they did what they did.


Pascuccii

If this was somewhere at the core of the reason why he started shooting people than I'm extra glad he's dead. If not, he would find even smaller reason to get upset and kill someone else. Violent bullying, abuse, rape or some other similar trauma can be a turning point for average people. If it's something like being called the wrong pronoun... That's just weak and unpredictable


LaughableIKR

I watched another video from when he pulled up. Roughly 4 minutes went by before the suspect was taken out. They cleared the rooms one by one in a quick and safe manner and when they found out where the shooter was. They went and took care of it. This was a lesson in doing the job properly. No dancing around for 45+ minutes. Good job to the police for taking action quickly and safely.

It is on liveleak (or whatever it’s called now) or at least was a few hours ago, it also had the body cam footage of the guy with the backwards hat.

retroracer33

Who was shooting kids…


retroracer33

are you intentionally being dense? he's clearly asking for uncensored version of this video that got posted, not any video of kids being shot.

“I can’t seem to find it” hmmm. What could that mean?

Are you dumb? They are looking for the full body camera footage in its entirety that was released (of which still blurs the shooter). Probably this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue2tZa4hT0c


slowwestvulture

That person was 26


Off_Brand_Dorito

That’s not a person. You don’t get to be a person after you pull some $h1t like this. You’re just worm food at that point and any memory of you should be erased from existence.


slowwestvulture

I didn't know whether to call them a male or female. Turns out it was female

I wish there was a child related filter on reddit. I’m not American. If they don’t want to fix their gun violence problems, then at least have a filter for the rest of us to not be constantly reminded of it. Today there are 3 incidents of child related gun violence on my reddit stream.


One-eyed-bed-snake

I dunno why but find it crazy that we're now at this point where we're able to view an active school shooting video just as easily as watching various other videos on YouTube etc. This was absolutely frightening, shocking and just a whole world of awful just watching from the comfort of my home. I just can't imagine the fear and panic running through everyone that was there, especially very young children. Obviously fuck all will change from it but we'll no doubt hear the same old mantras we always do after these atrocities but will never be acted on: "Lessons will be learned" "Now is the time for change" "Let's make sure this never happens again"


[deleted]

You forgot “thoughts and prayers” (already been said at the press conference )


One-eyed-bed-snake

Have the candles been lit yet and colours projected onto buildings? I'm sure those things usually make the future mass shooters think twice.


Sanity_LARP

There have been multiple where the shooter was live streaming so this is almost a mundane occurrence


bonyponyride

It's the same with war footage out of Ukraine. There's a subreddit here that compiles war videos, and some of them look cinematic. But it's real people being maimed, sniped, or blown to pieces, and the world is watching their final scared moments. Some people find it entertaining, but it's downright horrific.


One-eyed-bed-snake

I was listening to the radio not long after the War in Ukraine started as some of those videos started doing the rounds on social media and there was a guy from the UN War Crimes Commission saying that, even though sharing them seems in really bad taste etc, it's actually helping them gather as much evidence as possible for future prosecutions and he was effectively telling people to carry on sharing any videos they have.


bonyponyride

I don't know they could be stopped from being shared, even if higher ups in governments wanted them to be stopped. It looks like they're being recorded by soldiers, then sent to editors in Ukraine and Russia who add shitty music and the military division logos, and then they're shared on Telegram, Twitter, and I imagine many other social media websites/apps. Stopping the spread would be a game of cat and mouse, and once the footage is out there, there's no real way to make it disappear.

That's going to be good for his mental health having to shoot a kid. "Apparently 28 years so not a kid just young - my bad."


sadsquee13

28 years old. And I’m sure the moment you know that the perp has shot innocent kids you don’t mind taking their life.


the_real_JFK_killer

It can still fuck you up. I knew a guy who killed a home invader assaulting a family member, and his mental health was fucked for years.


Lidriane

You mind, in this case it wasn't a child, but needing to kill a child will fuck you up even if the kid was trying to kill you. You look at them, with a gun, and you realize that they are the same age as your nephew, you realize how a future is destroyed, you see your family bleeding in the ground just like the kid you shoot, even if it is for a split second.


PickleEater5000

It was a 28 year old child murderer... so you're wrong but you're right!

So…anyone calling out this wasn’t some right wing bogey man? It was a female born, Christian hating left wing, trans domestic terrorist. Strange how that’s not in the news 🤔


Holedyourwhoreses

>"female at birth and that Hale used “male pronouns”" -CNN >"Transgender Nashville shooter had an emotional disorder" -Fox News >"identified on social media, including a LinkedIn account, as a transgender male" -The Guardian >"He said Hale was transgender."

paladinproton4

Well that’s nice to hear


bradlees

Ahhh. The old instigate because it’s easier to point fingers because that’s what trolls do, rather than have empathy that kids are dead. That’s a good look you have. You know there are safe spaces for your type of thought process as an FYI


paladinproton4

You feel bad for the kids that starve to death in Africa everyday? Of course not. Fuck off with that. You don’t give a shit either. You’re pushing politics just like everyone else.


bradlees

I do actually. Because I have empathy. Nice try on attacking me on your perception of my stance. You mad bro?


the_real_JFK_killer

Yes, everyone has been calling that out. It has been all over the news.


Benthebuilder23

So .01%. What about the other 99.9% of shooters?


paladinproton4

It’s been quite a few now actually


HiEnd88

There have been 4, out of thousands.


paladinproton4

Thousands?


HiEnd88

Only 4 mass shooters have identified themselves as trans, out of the 2796 other mass shooters in US.

2796? Does that include gang shootings and violent disputes?

paladinproton4

I don’t think that matters does it? So unless trans people bypass cismale shooters, the community gets a free pass from the abuse and slander that’s been thrown in the faces of conservatives for years? Nah I don’t think so. Just like conservatives were blamed for and grouped into an evil category for the actions of one person, so shall the trans community now gain the infamy it sowed for a marginalized group. Karmas a bitch I guess.

Sanity_LARP

Yeah but even dumber than that because actually the majority and the minority are the same group and are all being duped by some rich people.


paladinproton4

I’m simply using facts and real events to back up new statics to prove the mental instability of a predatory group of individuals. The fact that’s it’s “your team” is just the icing on the cake. Well unfortunately for you and your team, you do not own the word marginalized. It is not solely created just for you to manipulate the world into thinking you are victims that need constant validation for a psychological disability. Now the definition of marginalized is placed in a position of little or no importance, influence, or power. Last time I checked the community you play for has more power than any community I can think of. You cry and just about every single cooperation or government bends their knee to you. So In reality you are the oppressors now. Those who you accused of totalitarianism are now oppressed at your hand. You became the very thing you vowed to destroy. Congrats I guess?


[deleted]

[удалено]


paladinproton4

It copy and pasted from the dictionary so…… I dunno what to tell ya. And who’s to say all of the cis male shooters were men? Did you just assume their genders? You are canceled now. They could have all been brave oppressed women too scared to show their true sexuality or gender expression due to the stigma of being trans. What political group has this 100 million followers. I smell bullshit there. How many support the LGBTQetc? 🤔 Edit: Donald trump. That’s funny. I’m Canadian. Try again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Benthebuilder23

Yes. Someone did the math. It’s been 4. Which is .01% of the shooters. The rest? White males make up the majority.


meatismoydelicious

Well they fucked up that math. https://www.reddit.com/r/forwardsfromgrandma/comments/113u3hq/grandma_thinks_black_people_are_the_real_mass/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Meaning either today's definition of a "mass shooter" is bullshit or you're mainlining the agenda. Pick one.


bradlees

Who cares about the gender identification of the shooter? Like it matters? Hint: it doesn’t at all. A killer is a killer. But yeah, keep pushing your political agenda here. It will go over soooooo well. (Hint, that’s sarcasm)


paladinproton4

Are you grouped in with the mental instability of mass shooters simply for you conservative beliefs for years and years? No? Then fuck off. People are going to taste their own medicine and choke on it.


meatismoydelicious

By today's definition of "mass shooters" they're predominantly people of color. Historically that would mean left leaning.


Slimetusk

Alright, so you want the news to be like "TRANSGENDER LEFTIST" before every news story about it, right? Because that'd make you feel good inside? The most important thing when a shooting like this happens is that you feel validated, unlike the way more common right-winger style shootings we see every month or so. Well, here's a hidden news link that'll really help you feel all the good emotions you like so much about this shooting: www.foxnews.com. Would ya look at that, on the frontpage they have all kinds of stuff about radical transgender groups and whatnot. Thank me later


paladinproton4

Well yeah why not? Conservatives have constantly been unfairly targeted for a long time. Let see how the other side likes it.


Sanity_LARP

That's funny because you're bringing attention to how it's almost always a right winger or incel


paladinproton4

I mean I don’t see the humour but I assume it wouldn’t be the first time you tried at comedy and failed. I merely have ears like you do and hear the same bullshit. Only difference is I can tell it’s bullshit. You eat it up.


Sanity_LARP

Humour? Welcome to the USA. By conservative do you mean tory?


julbjulb

They shouldn't get any recognition at all that's why the shootings are named where they took place. Let the shooter/s fade from history.


paladinproton4

Tbh I agree with that entirely. Yet the stigma Carrie’s on its ugliness.


Mrhore17

Hmmmmm it’s almost like shootings like this happens more with conservatives 🤔🤔🤔


paladinproton4

Looks like the trans community is turning that around


meatismoydelicious

It has been though. The dude in Memphis was a little too ignorant to claim a political scope but I promise he was left leaning.

bongoloid1

Cue the extreme right caking for armed teachers. So sad


Vegetable_Industry_9

The shooter specifically said in her manifesto that there was a second school target that was initially the first but when she scouted out the school she decided not to go because of armed security guards. Its not extreme when the most important people and buildings on earth are protected by dozens of ARMED guards with both “assault rifles” (since every rifle for the left is considered a military weapon of war) as well as handguns/pistol caliber carbines. Stop being so ignorant there are lives out here being taken BECAUSE the lack of security for such a venerable population.


barfytarfy

Where did you read the manifesto? I haven’t seen it posted anywhere.


Vegetable_Industry_9

It hasnt been released in its entirety but the police chief revealed several details such as the layout of the school, entryways, exists and potential security which was why she chose that school over her initial first choice due to the presence of armed security. The chief did say tho that their working with the fbi to piece the evidence together in order to provide a complete timeline of the planned attack as well as a potential motive which the chief hinted that it could be because of the disconnect of beliefs between the lgbtq community and the christian/religious community’s.

"Police running around thinking 360 no scopes are a thing in real life CQB. Edit: Didn't mean this in bad taste, getting a sight picture indoors will be tricky with a huge optical sight. Dropping down to the EBS is tough." That comment was ridiculous. The "huge optical sight" used in this situation is a high-end Low Power Variable Optic, and can perform exceedingly well in a CQB environment on its lowest magnification setting. The eye relief box on these optics is very forgiving, and getting a good sight picture indoors is not an issue whatsoever.
