One of the schools in my county had a death today. A "functional" autistic 16 year old junior attacked the SRO (School Resource Officer- a real cop). The article does not say it, but the officer tried to take the knife from the student for 12 minutes while the officer was cut about 7 times. The officer finally used his gun and shot the student several times. I have some teaching buddies from prior job sites who work at the school. Also, some of my firends' children attend the high school (Carolina Forest High) as well.
