Odighizuwa, who was wrestled to the ground by fellow students, one of whom aimed his own revolver at Odighizuwa, could face the death penalty if convicted.
This fact was conveinetly left out by some of the mainstream media reports. When I first googled the incident, I read a report that mentioned the perp was "wrestled to the ground" but there was no mention of a student aiming a handgun at the guy.

Media Ignore Fact That Gun Owners Stopped School Shooter

Quote:
Two of the three Virginia law students who overpowered a gunman in a fatal school shooting were armed and used their weapons to disarm the shooter. Yet of the 280 stories written about the shooting, a mere four mentioned the fact that the heroic students were armed and used their guns to halt the rampage
Apparently many in the media don't wish to publisize the fact that armed students can make a difference. Typical.:rolleyes:
