The Georgia school shooting crisis ended with no casualties, no injuries, with the gunman surrendering peacefully to the police. Antoinette Tuff, the clerk an the Atlanta-area school made all of this happen by just talking to the 20-year old gunman.
Police are now reviewing the 9-11 tapes from the shooting crisis which happened on August 20, 2013 hours before the children are sent home. The tapes showed how Tuff's calm demeanor helped pacify the gunman and ultimately urging him to surrender without hurting anybody.
The school clerk was instructed by Michael Brandon Hill to call the probation officer at DeKalb County to inform him of "what's going on." Brandon Hill carried an AK 47-style rifle which is packed with approximately 500 rounds of ammunition.
During the ordeal, Tuff relayed the information from the school to the emergency dispatcher at DeKalb County. The crisis ended with no casualties, no injuries, and Michael Brandon Hill peacefully let himself to be led away by the police. During the crisis, television footage of the children escaping the building with their teachers and members of the police was being aired. The students and teachers of Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy were led to a nearby WalMart where the children's parents are waiting.
The school houses 870 students, most of which are in their pre-kindergarten program.
"He had a look on him that he was willing to kill," Tuff said in an ABC News interview "He said that he didn't have any reason to live and that he knew he was going to die today...I knew that if he got out that door he was gonna kill everybody... I told him, 'OK, we all have situations in our lives. I went through a tragedy myself. It was going to be OK. If I could recover, he could too."
