Detroit high school coach shoots 2 attackers outside school
Coach was escorting 2 female players to their cars
Posted: 02/02/2013
DETROIT - Police sources in Detroit say that a women's basketball coach from Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School shot two men who attacked him as he was walking two basketball players to their cars in the school parking lot Friday night.
Police sources told our Scripps sister station WXYZ TV the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources.
One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. WXYZ reported that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled.
Police sources told the station that the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities.

Well done, and sounds like he was doing an implied task at the time as well, escorting young ladies to their cars at night. (what followed shows why)
Good job.
Not to detract at all, but this caught my eye:

Close-in, one's 'bling', or even a lanyard for credentials, can be a handle for the bad guy.

Armed security guards making a difference, Newtown asking for armed security in schools just this past week -- the NRA's early stated position may not sound so radical given these recent events.
Armed guard disarmed teen in Atlanta school shooting, says police chief

Atlanta • A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said.
"The armed resource officer who took the gun away was off-duty and at the school, but police didn’t release details on him or whether he is regularly at Price. Since 20 children and six adults were shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December, calls for armed officers in every school have resonated across the country."

I will be surprised if they don't charge the coach with having a gun on school property.
But, good job by both the coach and the security guard.

Further proof that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, at the risk of seeming callous about the outcome of this event I have to say I thought the story had a happy ending.

Great when a [common sense] plan of action is shown to work!

Yes, it will be very interestingn to see if he is fired, disciplined, or prosecuted instead of given a medal WHICH IS WHAT HE DESERVES!!

The bad guys made their choice. They are responsible for the consequenses.

Exactly. With enough time, money and sympathy, the perpetrator can easily be morphed into the victim in today's society.

This is why cops wear clip-on ties and years ago ditched the Sam Browne belts.
