Ep. 12: True Crime Audio — Antoinette Tuff Talks Down Would-Be School Shooter
Introduction
No script here, and I think no script will be the norm for these True Crime Audio episodes, since I do hardly any talking. In fact, I didn’t do any story-specific talking in this episode. The only non-archival speaking is done by a text-to-speech app which reads the information quoted below:
On August 20, 2013, a shooting and hostage situation occurred at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, an elementary school in the district. A man with an AK-47 entered the school’s front office and barricaded himself. He fired six shots at approaching police officers outside, who returned fire. Nobody was injured. The school’s students were evacuated. Antoinette Tuff, a school bookkeeper, later received a call from President Obama praising her for her courage while talking to the shooter; police credited her calmness and kindness toward him with convincing him to surrender without shooting anyone. — Wikipedia
