It is always good to hear news about a hero. One such man is David Benke. He is a math teacher at Deer Creek Middle School in Littleton, Colorado. This is his story. Near the end of the school day, a man started shooting a rifle at students in the parking lot. Amid all the confusion, Benke made a decision. He took action and ran toward the shooter and tackled him, he then held him there until police arrived.

The shooter was a 32 year old man named Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood. He is currently in jail with one million dollar bail set by a judge. He has a history of criminal activity and faces attempted first degree murder charges. I’m glad that Mr. Benke was able to stop this man before further damage was done.
