A teacher in a struggle with a suspect to try and disarm him.
Elizabeth VargasHOST
Very quickly, Michael, what do we know about this gun? It is an 88, it's called a, what is it called? It is a Maverick 88 shotgun.
Elizabeth VargasHOST
It's a smaller gun that, to your point, parents often buy their teenagers.
Michael MatrangaGUEST
You know what's eerie to me is the very first gun my father ever bought me at the age of 16 was a Maverick 88 that's sitting right here in my office that I'm looking at.
Michael MatrangaGUEST
And so what I find very odd is that his method of breaching the school was shooting through the locks, the same method that most SWAT teams and police units throughout the United States And same weapon that they used to breach locks to enter to save these kids is the same method in which he used and the same weapon in which he used.
Elizabeth VargasHOST

The first caller said he'd confronted the shooter in the parking lot of the school and that the shooter then turned and fired numerous times at the caller and his truck.

The gunman, who we later learned was only 16 years old, was armed with a 12-gauge Maverick 88 pump-action shotgun, so he threw the gun over the school fence before jumping over it himself and running toward the school.
MadiganHOST
The Deschutes County dispatch received multiple 911 calls beginning at 1:00 PM, reporting that someone had entered the school and was shooting.
MadiganHOST
In the meantime, the shooter shot the glass panes of double doors to the school and gained entry.

The 320s right now have crazy deals.
Michael MelitoHOST
I'd probably looking on, looking for a used 320 for, you know, a proper fighting handgun, a good Palmetto State Armory or Smith & Wesson or Ruger AR-15, a decent pump-action shotgun, Maverick 88, and a Ruger 10/22, and that's a pretty good all-around budget battery.
Michael MelitoHOST

Michael MelitoHOST
The country has fully, uh, dismantled itself, complete societal collapse.
