Olathe School Resource Officer 'Justified' In Shooting Ghost Gun Student & Asst. Principal

The aftermath of this hot mess shouldn't make anybody feel safe . . .

By now you've seen the determination . . .

"The Johnson County District Attorney said Officer Erik Clark was justified in using deadly force against the student, Jaylon Elmore, who a witness said opened fire on Clark first. The officer also likely fired the shots that hit an assistant principal, but the DA is not filing charges."
