Some students reported doing just that. One student, in a study hall at a library, said she and others barricaded the door with a table and stayed quiet, waiting for police. Another hid in a men's restroom, and a student who was in the classroom where the shooting broke out followed others who fled. Student Riley Howell, without the option of running or hiding, confronted the suspected gunman, Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22, and "took the assailant off his feet," the Charlotte police chief said. That act saved lives, the chief said, but Howell was killed. In total, two people were killed and four others were wounded in the attack and police have yet to release a motive for the shooting.
shootings have become very common in recent times, students shouldn't even have to run for their lives IN SCHOOL.

While I do agree that Howell's action were very brave, the fact that some people in the article shamed those who ran away from the shooter is not something I agree with. Howell was truly a hero that day, but that does not mean that those who prioritized their own lives should have to feel guilty about it. - Daniella Castanheira
