Teenager who disarmed Colorado school shooter is now a Marine
https://www.stripes.com/news/teenager-who-disarmed-colorado-school-shooter-is-now-a-marine-1.601668A Colorado teen who helped tackle and disarm a gunman during a school shooting earlier this year has graduated Marine Corps boot camp, where he distinguished himself as platoon honor man.
Brendan Bialy, 18, was one of the students who subdued one of two shooters who entered STEM School Highlands Ranch, in a southern suburb of Denver, in May.
Last month, he crossed the parade deck at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego as his training platoon’s guide. During training, he earned a meritorious promotion to private first class, a program for the ceremony says.
“My thoughts on becoming a Marine were nothing but reinforced after the shooting,” he said in a video statement. “What I saw that day was complete and total malevolence, bad overcome by good.”
