Version 0 of 1. The US may have been spared another shooting tragedy after it was reported that a teacher had apprehended a shooter who entered a school in Washington state. Local media said that emergency response staff said they had received reports of a shooting at North Thurston High School in the town of Lacey. The reports were first made at 7:30 am local time on Monday morning. Reports said that the gunman had been tackled by Brady Olson, a member of staff who teaches governments and civics. A student who answered the phone in Mr Olson's office on Monday morning told The Independent: "Apparently someone entered the school with a .357, fired one or two shots into the air. Then Mr Olson apprehended him."
