Football Star Becomes a Hero
Kaleb Eulls, star football player and hero
This story from WTHR.com:
“More than 20 students are safe today thanks to the quick work of a star football player. Kaleb Eulls saved the day when police say a 14-year-old pulled out a loaded gun on the bus.
Grainy video from the school bus camera shows the terrifying moments. The girl yells as she swings the gun. The other students are terrified screams.
It happened Monday morning in Yazoo County, Mississippi. The bus was filled with students of all ages. Police say one of them, a 14-year-old girl who was tired of being picked on, pulled out a .38 caliber gun.
In the midst of the panic, another student, star quarterback and defensive end Kaleb Eulls, did what he does best.
“He tackled her and saved no telling how many lives as a result,” said the sheriff.
The senior may be well known in the area on the football field, but today he is better known as a hero.”

SchoolTipline applauds the bravery of Kaleb Eulls. The action that Eulls took saved the lives of those on the bus.
The girl who carried the weapon is now in jail and may be tried as an adult. This incident cannot be taken lightly. Bullying is a serious issue and had it not taken place in this girl’s life this event may have been avoided. It is important that there is an open culture of communication between faculty and students so that cases like this can be prevent.
