10/1/1997 - Luke Woodham put on a trench coat to conceal a hunting rifle and entered Pearl High School in Pearl, Mississippi. He killed 3 students before vice principal Joel Myrick apprehended him with a handgun without firing a shot.

4/24/1998 - Andrew Wurst attended a middle school dance in Edinboro, Pennsylvania intent on killing a bully, but shot wildly into the crowd. He killed 1 student. James Strand who lived next door he heard the shots and he ran over with his 12 gauge shotgun and apprehended the gunman without firing a shot.

1/16/2002 – Peter Odighizuwa opened fire with a handgun at The Appalachian School in Grundy, Virginia. 3 people were killed before the shooter was apprehended by 3 students armed students Mikael Gross, Ted Besen, and Tracy Bridges.

12/9/2007 – Matthew J. Murray entered the Youth With A Mission training center in Arvada, Colorado and killed 2 people, then went to the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado killing 2 more. He was shot, wounded and stopped by church member Jeanne Assam. He committed suicide before police arrived.



And now the main reason for my response to your inaccurate post.

2/25/2005 – David Hernandez Arroyo Sr. opened fire on a public square from the steps of a courthouse in Tyler, Texas. The shooter was armed with a rifle and wearing body armor. Mirabel Estrada, his ex-wife, was killed at the scene, as was Mark Allen Wilson. Mark drew the shooter’s fire by firing with a handgun, hitting the shooter but not penetrating the armor, and ultimately drove him off, but was fatally wounded.
