Shots were fired by a teacher at a US school and everyone had the same message for Donald Trump
Everyone had the same message for Donald Trump after a teacher was arrested at a US high school after allegedly firing a gun and barricading himself in an office.
The incident in Georgia comes after Trump said the best way to stop high school shootings was to give guns to teachers, a process that has already begun.
Florida's Republican-controlled appropriations committee has approved a $67 million "school marshal" program to give 10 teachers per school 132 hours of training to carry guns, and give armed teachers $500 bonuses: https://t.co/6ZmmCYIP79 pic.twitter.com/Mub8hfvKbE

And yet the latest shooting – no-one was injured – suggests Trump’s plan is as ill-thought through as everyone suggested it was.
And here’s how people reacted online.

Shots were fired at Dalton High School in Georgia today—by a teacher. Clearly the only logical solution now is to arm all students.

@nra my favorite teacher at Dalton high school just blockaded his door and proceeded to shoot. We had to run out The back of the school in the rain. Students were being trampled and screaming. I dare you to tell me arming teachers will make us safe.

I’m a Dalton High School student. Please don’t tell me a damn thing about arming teachers. Please don’t tell me that I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.
