I initially wasn't in favor of armed officers in the school but Ofc. Blaine Gaskill acted quickly and decisively to stop the attack and may well have saved a number of lives.

I'm sure this incident will reignite the debate on the merits of trained, armed resource officers and their value.

Blaine Gaskill, a resource officer who also serves as a SWAT team member, rushed to the hallway where Rollins was, and the two fired at each other.

The officer wasn’t hurt, but his bullet struck Rollins.

Rollins was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died at about 10:40 a.m., according to St. Mary’s County Sheriff Timothy Cameron.

Well done that man
