Student “took gun” from parents. Meaning, I assume, that the gun was not locked up in the home and was accessible to him. This is so sad—it sounds as though this kid was only maybe 12, 13 yrs old and very, very troubled.

Nevada school shooting: Teacher killed, two students wounded

“Mike Landsberry, a popular math teacher at the school, was killed in the shooting, Sparks Mayor Geno Martini told CNN.

“In addition to his work as a teacher, Landsberry also had served in the Marines and served several tours in Afghanistan as a member of the Nevada Air National Guard, his brother, Reggie, told CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.”

“He was the kind of person that if someone needed help he would be there,” Reggie Landsberry said. “He loved teaching. He loved the kids. He loved coaching them. … He was just a good all-around individual.”

The shooter sounds like a kid with a lot of problems which had not been addressed, either, one student describing him as “nice” and who would get other kids things to make them feel better, and had been bullied in the past.
