Feeling cynical? Read this. One morning in March of 2006, another school tragedy almost happened in Nevada when a 14-year-old student walked into Pine Middle School, pulled out his parents .38 pistol and opened fire. But this wouldnt be another Columbine -- nobody was seriously harmed, thanks to one teachers audacity. The boy squeezed off three shots, hitting one boy in the arm and striking a young girl with a ricochet (both victims recovered), before one teacher, Jencie Fagan, walked right up to him with a hug and told him she wouldnt leave him. He surrendered the gun, and she held him firmly against her until other teachers arrived to help. The teacher said that she believed that anyone else wouldve done the same, saying, I look at the students as if theyre my own. I dont know that I would recommend her actions without an armored truck but it was an example of the power of love. Spread some around.
