You never know, when you’ll need a hero. On Valentine’s Day, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle at his former school Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. As a result, 17 people have been confirmed dead and at least 50 were injured, but there may have been more casualties if it wasn’t for coach Aaron Feis.
According to eye-witness reports, the coach, who also worked as a security guard at the school for at least eight years, threw himself in front of bullets to shield students from the gunman. A tribute was paid to Mr. Feis on Twitter after user Angelica Losada declared that he was in a “critical condition” after his heroic act. “This, ladies and gentlemen, if the face of a hero,” she wrote.
Sadly, the fate of Mr. Feis is still unknown. Conflicting reports are surfacing on the internet, announcing that the hero has either passed away or still is fighting for his life in critical condition. If you have any news about the current condition of coach Feis, email us at rokas.l@boredpanda.com.

That's what happpens when American politicians are busier caring about guns than caring about gun control and dealing with mental health issues. Get your sh** together America, you can't keep losing your kids to these shootings because politicians are too corrupt to care!

I don't think they give a damn about who does and does not have guns...what they care about is the amount of money they get from the gun lobbyists. It is and will always be about money.

Here we go again, "thoughts and prayers," candles , flowers, and balloons. Not a damn thing that takes any effort or courage though.

We need to stop producing automatic rifles. Hunting rifles and handguns have their place, but automatic weapons are only used to hunt people. It's not American. It's not "manly." It's not a "right" to own these weapons. I'm sick of people saying if you take my guns, you take my freedom!! No, if we take your automatic weapons, we SAVE LIVES. End of story.
