Frightening First Day of School in Decatur, GA

       For McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, Georgia, it was a scary first day of school.  McNair is a small school outside of Atlanta that has only 870 students. On August 22, their world was rocked when Michael Brandon Hill, a twenty year-old, came into their school with an AK-47, saying “Let me talk to a police officer.” In this situation, it wasn't the police officers who played the role of hero, but a school bookkeeper. Antoinette Tuff was calm during the situation. She began talking to Hill and telling him about her own problems.  She also told him just to turn himself in, and that she loved him, reported Fox News. After a firefight, Hill surrendered to police without hurting anyone.
