How to use shooter in a sentence?

  1. Greg Abbott:

    As one Santa Fe student said... arming teachers and not knowing who is armed, that is what we need, when an active shooter situation arises, the difference between life and death can be a matter of seconds. Trained security personal can make all the difference.

  2. Jill Del Greco:

    We are not aware of there being an active shooter.

  3. Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin:

    No Uvalde police officers had any opportunity to take a shot at the gunman, a Uvalde Police Department officer saw someone outside but was unsure of who he saw and observed children in the area as well. Ultimately, it was a coach with children on the playground, not the shooter.

  4. Edward Reinhold:

    CPD returned fire, and neutralized the shooter.

  5. Lee Merritt:

    The stand your ground action, under the laws of Missouri, are completely inapplicable to this case, because there has been no conversation, not from the suspect, not from the victim and not from law enforcement, that Ralph Yarl, at 16 years old, ever posed a threat to this shooter.
