All schools need a Silent Alarm System. You can notify cops without telling anyone. With the risk of school shootings, this should be top priority
Definitely 😢
This just goes to show you,that they dont give a fuc about us normal people. Such a disgrace
We had a full-time liaison officer who doubled as hall monitor.
One of my teachers also kept a gun on him (controversial, sure, but comforting).
Not to mention a number of level minded adults who could look you in the eye and see the motivation in your soul. No hiding.
Felt like the iron dome with them around lol
My school has this
@@Ameliaadair-xt9cu u are lucky
This was incredible. As someone who grew up in DeKalb, this really touched home. I 100% would have believed this woman was born, raised, and worked at an elementary school here. To say she nailed the role would be an understatement. Even the actor that portrayed the shooter here did such an outstanding job. Better acting than I've seen in any blockbuster in years.
I agree. I lived in Dekalb for a lot of my life, and this hit me hard
Totally agree! I used to go to Chapel Hill when it was k-7th and SWD. Well done but so, so sad! It was a different time when I was in school. At most , we’d have drugs or a fight but nothing like kids have to cope with now!
is this based on dekalb illinois?

I was holding my breath through the whole thing...at the end when she was breaking down I got the sense she was not weeping for herself but for the boy and the whole situation. The mental health issues in America are real...
I was also. It's as if I was there on scene instead of watching the video. I was hoping he didn't shoot her and happy that's how it ended.

@@TakenWasTakenYT It's both.
A guy with a knife can't take out nearly as many people as a guy with an automatic rifle case.
"I don't know your name or nothin, but I want you to know that I love you and that I'm proud of you," that fucking line killed me.
How can you be proud of someone you don’t know?
@@SpaceHippo420 She knew that he was mentally unstable and needed help. She was proud of the fact that he came to his senses enough to not hurt anyone. You may not know someone personally, but you can be proud of them when they do something good and/or something hard. I'm proud of the receptionist who held herself together during a terrifying situation and saw the scared, lonely, unsteady human being underneath his intimidation tactics.
Drama queen
I know that line hit hard af
Big same
The first thing I noticed that immediately set him apart from your typical shooter is how he seemed to not want to hurt anyone. Him telling that man to leave was surprising because usually their goal is a high body count. Once it was confirmed he didn't hurt anyone by the time he gave up I was pretty much ready to forgive him and by end I just felt straight up sorry for him. I think what it showed it that while he was trying to become a monster as a way to exit the world, he really wasn't one which is why being receptive to her kind words and giving up came rather quickly for him. So happy I stumbled across this. Really well done.
Its a short film did u expect a body
@@ohshucks7156 I'm not sure I follow what you are saying. Short films have shown death before. The length doesn't have anything to do with it. If anything if they wanted to show he killed someone they could've just implied it off screen or had the dispatcher say he's he killed a few cops.
Bullying plays a HUGE part in this. Please teach and emphasize to your kids that bullying is not ok! I was bullied as a kid a lot and harrased everyday.
It leaves huge scars on oneself, hope you heal from it🙏

Mental health is real. Please do not ignore it.

@@JAy-ct2bu Yup
I'm a licensed gun owner myself here in the Philippines.
mental health is the result of your looks
imagine if makeup was banned
vvomen would go on a rampage
Everyone is lauding the brave and compassionate woman, but the kid who almost became a killer that day doesn’t get enough recognition! He was able to control his impulses and stop himself from hurting people that day. He was strikingly self aware throughout the whole ordeal and recognized he was mentally unstable and that he needed to get to a hospital. Mental illness is the real culprit here, and I wish nothing more than for that poor kid to get the help he needs and deserves.
Well said.
I've been saying mental health needs to be address since 2009. It's getting worse. I'm telling you, all governments care about is money, greed, and guns. They dont care about mental health.
Someone help these people. Like genuinely, these people aren't okay and they need the support and help they need. Very good film.

So easy telling other people to do things. Why not take the initiative on something you want to be done

This is based nearly verbatim on an actual shooting in Decatur, Georgia just outside Atlanta in 2013 so accurately it might as well be a dramatic re-enactment. Actors even look identical to real life counterparts. Antoinette Tuff talked down Brandon Hill into surrendering. Despite brief exchange of gunfire between Hill and police as shown here, nobody was injured. Police response was also lightning fast, again, as shown here. Tuff and two other staffers trained in crisis resolution extensively and initially thought the whole thing was a drill, which is probably why they were so chill at the start. The words of love and encouragement she said are recorded in the conversation she had with the dispatcher. Shut up, I'm not crying, you're crying.
Thanks for the info, just read up on it.
Wow! I have never watched anything on a school shooting and hoped nothing happened to the shooter until today. It definitely puts a whole different perspective on things
Brooks from cobra Kai never fully recovered from that beating hawk gave him huh
I'm a 35 year old man. Raised on tough love. Never cried about anything in my life, except when my dog died as a kid.
When she told him "I dont know your name or nothing, but i want you to know that i love you. And im proud of you." I absofuckinglutely lost it. That shit was powerful as fuck.
Its amazing how far u get with a little bit of humanity.
This video is almost word for word as the events unfolded in real life when Antionette Tuff, the Receptionist at this school spoke with and calmly negotiated with the shooter. Its incredible. What a brave brave woman. The woman who reenacted the incident was also amazing as was the young shooter. Both the characters also look incredibly like the actual people involved.
This was such an beautiful movie… i teared up. I felt so bad for the kids, the shooter….
*Amazing that countless short films like this on RUclips are better than 99% of multi-million dollar movies coming out of professional Hollywood producers*
Sometimes a smile, a bit of kindness can make a world of difference. He was able to reciprocate the love and calm she gave him. Beautiful story of love and the hurt people go thru.

It’s amazing how the receptionist is trying to take care of him even tho he could kill her at any time
As someone that once thought that violence was the only way out, I can relate to the boy. If you have violent thoughts seek help and especially God. Amen.
Good job for not acting on those feelings! You should be very proud of yourself!! You could be an advocate for a lot of people. ❤
Wow! Didnt expect to watch this. Up it popped.
Fabulous acting. Great drama. I was gripped all the way.
The message was clear..if there was one.
Everybody hurts sometimes.
The compassion the beautiful lady showed was uplifting. Despite her fear She understood in some way.
The guy was unwell. Confused. Striking out!
The location of the film was quite disturbing at first. I doubted id watch it all but i did. WOW!
wow, for a fshort film she is a great actor, the fact that she tried to relate to the victim, also said I care for you was the most touching words, I love you. helped him to give up, alot of people have so much hatred that the world shows them, never feeling love. nice short clip tbh
This was so very perfectly portrayed----and the need for more mental health help comes over more than anything. Beautiful acting--very, very real. Lynn in NYC
not portrayed by the guns it is

he shot within the school thats an active shooter

What an amazing courageous God fearing receptionist. She deserves a medal 🏅 👏 if this was real life.
It’s based on a true story, and the lady was a real person ms tuff.
Well it is real life
This actor plays the cobra kai bully in the show hahaha
I felt almost every emotion known to man watching this short film. I honestly even shedded a tear for the actor portraying the shooter at the end... very well scripted and directed. Great job.
The sad part is a lot of shooters go to those offices looking for help from other abusive students and are met with laughs and a quick fix telling the child ",shh!, no one likes a snitch "
2:12 apparently, he bought the bolt-action AK.
could be an off-brand ripoff 😂🤣
I was like, why did he chamber a round?
I'm not sure what you are referring to. The weapon/prop used here looks and operates like any AK-47 that you will see. The time stamp you give did not even show the manipulation of the bolt/carrier group, but the sound was that of a typical AK as far as one can tell.
I know I was waiting on this comment. I heard him cock it two times and nearly died laughing
@@DocFixit32he's referring to the fact that he racks the bolt multiple times. Could very well also be attributed to the fact that not all of the dudes mental faculties are there.
This REALLY hit home for me. Im a Crisis Mental Healthcare QHP/Clinician and we just had a 12 year old bring a loaded hand gun to school because the child was being bullied by a group of teenagers. They called him names, would steal money from his pockets, push him around, and make fun of him in front of other schoolmates. This child said they were only going to scare them with the gun and they never planned to actually use it! However the gun was fully loaded along with 2 full magazines in his backpack and a box of extra ammo. That doesn't sound to me like someone who planned to just scare some kids. The kid had enough ammo to take out at least a good 175 possibly 200. Thats absolutely mind-blowing to me that that child had access to that much ammunition and that gun.. Thankfully nobody was hurt l. He didn't get the chance to scare anyone with it because he showed a couple friends who told a couple others and eventually the teachers heard and called it in!
This case turned out much better than most of my cases Thankfully. Usually, I deal with lots of suicidal, homicidal, schizophrenic episodes, extreme bipolar episodes, + more.
The job is VERY rewarding at times and feels SOOO GOOD when your actually able to help someone and you see them make better decisions and better their lives. It's the best feeling in the world especially when they come back or call to say thank you. It's such a rewarding feeling.
However its not always like that. I all too often get really sad, depressing, emotionally draining cases where they don't want the help or to change. I watch them spiral out of control to the point of going mentally insane, giving up, and dying!
You lost me on that one. You said his gun was loaded plus 2 other magazines, yet you also say he had to enough to kill up to 200 people. That math ain't adding up.
@@The3LetterAgencybullets don't stop at one person 2mags could very well kill 200 it's awful but true
@yomaxmax6279 a drum mag maybe but that's also betting against the fact that drums suck and usually don't work very well.
@@The3LetterAgency also I think there was way more than 2 other mags it sounded like he had a filled bag of ammunition
@yomaxmax6279 the comment said "2 full magazines in his backpack and a box of extra ammo." Assuming the commenter knows what they're talking about, a box means it's not loaded into the magazine. I don't know if you've loaded a mag before, but it's not exactly quick.
I broke down crying when he said “I have nobody”😢😭😭
Sophomore year we had a school shooting stopped before it could happen, showed a girl his hit list and her mom called the police and they arrested him before he could get to school. Senior year we realized we had the power to stop kids from even feeling like that in the first place. Us popular kids and athletes would go sit at the "loser" table or with the kid eating alone. Just make conversation with them, talk to them like any other friend, make jokes or fun of other popular kids with them. Dap them up in the hallway between class. Pick them for your team in gym class, stuff like that. If every school did what we did, recognize the "weird" kids and just make them feel normal, let them know they have a friend in the "popular crowd" it wouldng be any more school shootings. This was 15 years ago too
The way she talks to him is one of the triggers for many of the school shooters over the last 20 years. I know I'm going to get comments about how I'm wrong and it's actually "calming and reassuring" but from my years of research as well as personal experience, it feels infantilizing, belittling and dismissive. That's the way I feel about it and if I had not had a stable home to retreat to, I would have been one. It's not ones with the obvious challenges like this kid, it's "that creepy weird kid" who's not quite "normal". The school system, the parents, the teachers, the other students turn those kids into shooters. All y'all make them do it! I hope one day you'll understand, preferable before more kids have to die before y'all can have some compassion for your fellow humans.
There are a thousand kids out there who have nothing to live for. They are terrified of being forgotten and want to live forever. So they devour the lives of others.
@@ryomaru2
When you got nothing left to live for, you got nothing left to lose. Abused at home and bullied at school made them hate the world.
Not to make excuses, but most of these kids are lost. Sometimes one kind person can a difference.
This short film was eye opening. Wow… God Bless everybody out there. Mental health matters 🙏🏽
Not him casually pulling out a water bottle and taking a drink🤦🏾♀️
Her maintaining the fear deep down was crazy. She had no choice but to help him..
Very well done. This film has taught me to stay true to who i am, that im proud of who i am. When i see news stories, i find myself to be the literal only comment mentioning how hard it is to be human, how complex it is, that no criminal willingly chooses darkness. I tend to no longer read replies since it's usually just jerks accusing me of condoning violence or sympathizing with the criminals. ❤
Having empathy isn't the issue.
It is the people that dismiss the extra reason that usually the tragedies end so big...which is that the killer does not carry a knife.
@@Widdekuu91 China's mass stabbings would like to have a word with you.
This is not how it goes but close to how to goes
It's pretty accurate. Here are exact quotes from a CNN article about the real life incident:
"By the end - with police themselves having never directly talked to him - Tuff and the gunman were talking about where he would put his weapon, how he’d empty his pockets and where he’d lie down before authorities could get him.
“It’s going to be all right, sweetie,” she tells Hill at one point in the call. “I just want you to know I love you, though, OK? And I’m proud of you. That’s a good thing that you’re just giving up and don’t worry about it. We all go through something in life.”
Tuff then let the gunman know that she’d been down before herself, but she’d picked herself up. He could, too.
“I thought the same thing, you know, I tried to commit suicide last year after my husband left me,” she said. “But look at me now. I’m still working and everything is OK.”
Based on an actual event. So this is how it went, one time.

Taking absentee fathers out of the conversation, I think a lot of the young people doing these sorts of things would've benefited greatly just to have an older friend with some wisdom, if a solid family is really too much to ask.

No, a guy like this mostly needs to be medicated so his intrusive thoughts don't overwhelm him. People really are oblivious to what mental illness victims are suffering from because they can't see, hear, or feel the things the mentally ill are experiencing. Your comment is like saying depressed people just need to cheer up.
This broke my heart…..this kid is hurting so bad because he just wants to be loved,needed,wanted and healthy!! This is what’s wrong with our society!! Everyone deserves to have these things but people have become so cruel to each other and that’s why this stuff happens!! Do you see we as a community are responsible for our own destiny!!
This was such a brilliant short film. The intensity as soon as the shooter walked in was like a pressure cooker that didn’t let up until the police finally barged in.
The script was very simple and the characters were one dimensional until the phones started ringing. this made it even more relatable and realistic thinking about how worried sick their families must be.
