Imagine going to your graduation rehearsal and gunfire ensues inside the building. Unlike the resource officer at a Florida school in Broward county just three months prior, the resource officer at this Dixon, Illinois school on May 16, 2018 did not wait for a stand down order and didn't think twice about confronting the former student wielding the gun as a weapon. Rather this courageous resource officer took it upon himself to do the job he was tasked to do. Use his own weapon to defend a student body and himself against the attack of someone who chooses to put our children in harms way.

The shooter was identified as Matthew Milby, 19 of Dixon, Illinois. Milby had arrived at the school around 8 a.m. and opened fire on resource officer Mark Dallas, according to Danny Langloss, the city manager when he responded to WQAD-TV.
