Student at Christian university credited with ending deadly shooting

Fox News: Seattle Pacific University student credited with tackling gunman in deadly school shootinghttp://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/06/06/shooting-at-seattle-pacific-university/http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/06/06/shooting-at-seattle-pacific-university/

A Seattle Pacific University student building monitor is being called a hero after witnesses say he tackled a campus gunman who opened fire Thursday, killing one and wounding three others.

Jon Meis, 26, the hallway monitor, pepper-sprayed the gunman as he went to reload his gun after shooting three students, one fatally.

Meis put the shooter into a chokehold and was joined by other students who rushed the man, The Seattle Times reported. Officials say without Meis' quick action, there could have been more victims because police found additional shotgun rounds and a knife at the scene.

"He was hellbent on killing a lot of people today," a law enforcement source told the paper.

The suspected shooter was identified as Aaron R. Ybarra, 26. He was booked Thursday night for investigation of murder, police said. There was no motive given for the shooting and police are not searching for additional suspects.
Typical "shooting aftermath" story of the shooter: He'd never been in trouble before, described by a guy who knew him as "friendly," and gave no indication he was considering something like this. He asked the friend yesterday if he wanted to go fishing with him.

And somebody better do something nice for Meis. That's pretty incredible, what he did.
