‘Hero’ teacher stopped student shooter’s rampage in campus cafeteria

A FIRST-YEAR teacher has emerged as the hero of a school shooting that left a young girl dead and four injured after she grappled with the gunmen seconds before he shot himself.

Student Jaylen Fryberg, 15, went on the rampage in the campus cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, Washington State on Friday.

Witnesses say social studies teacher, Megan Silberberger, ran into the scene and grabbed the young gunman’s arms while he was reloading his weapon. It’s thought her brave act of heroism may have prevented a more deadly rampage.

Erick Cervantes, one of the students in the cafeteria at the time of killings, told local TV station Kiro 7: “I believe she’s actually the real hero. She’s the one that intercepted him with the gun. He tried either reloading or tried aiming at her. She tried moving his hand away and he tried shooting and shot himself in the neck.”
