M: Some guy brought a gun to school and tried to shoot someone.
W: You're kidding! Is everyone OK?
M: Yeah. The teacher managed to take the gun from him.
W: Our history teacher?
M: That's the one.
W: He never stops amazing me.
M: He was definitely the right person at the right time. After he hit the student and grabbed the gun, he talked to the boy about his problems. While I was on the phone with the police and the parents, he was holding the student. If I was not mistaken, I thought the student was crying.
W: Did the teacher help the boy solve his problems?
M: I don't think so. The student was clearly bothered by something pretty big. I don't think problems like that can be solved so quickly. But, when the police came to take him away, our teacher told him that he would see him again.
