Middle school educator Krista Gneiting describes the moment she disarmed a 6th grade girl who had brought a gun to school: “After I got the gun, I just pulled her into a hug...”ABC News
An Idaho teacher who disarmed a sixth grader after she opened fire at school earlier this month is breaking her silence for the first time.
Krista Gneiting, a math teacher at Rigby Middle School in the small town of Rigby, about 15 miles northeast of Idaho Falls, was preparing her students for their final exams on the morning of May 6 when she said she heard a gunshot from down the hall. She said she looked outside her classroom and saw the school's janitor lying on the floor at the end of the hallway. She said she shut the door as she heard two more gunshots.
