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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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.”

    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.
    I love how they didn’t need to display and violence or brutality to get the point across just how traumatic and damaging this can be. We got the good ending this time, but your imagination is left haunting you with what “could have been.”

    wow! superb acting!!
    the look on that black woman's face expressed concern and care!
    also the shooter's excellent portrayal as well - a typical aura of someone being bullied and undergoing mental issues - great job!

    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.
