Katie Couric interviewed the security guard who came to the rescue of the members of the school board in Panama City, FL.

Really amazing story. The guy was doing what he was trained to do, what he had to do...yet he expressed remorse about the family of the gunman. He got choked up talking about it: it certainly affected him.

I think I could do it if I had to. In fact, I probably would have been like the woman who came back in and tried to knock the gunman over with her purse (the man was not interested in hurting any women, oddly.)

But I would be changed. I'm really a pacifist, but I have been in situations where backed into a corner, and I become worse than fearless...some sort of instinct takes over. Yet later, I feel remorse, I feel sad. Perhaps it stems from wondering why we are ever put in those situations, why the world is the way it is. But it is.

This really is an amazing story, more amazing that no one was hit, and I thought about this thread when I watched the interview.
