A gunman in his 80s opened fire at the Texas Color Guard Circuit drumline competition at Pasadena Memorial High School. One person was injured in the shooting. Onlookers were luckily able to stop the man before more damage was done.

According to the New York Post, a young adult male was struck with a bullet before a brave parent in the audience tackled the shooter to the ground. Several other good samaritans joined in to help apprehend the man, who could have potentially become another mass shooter.

The shooter was said to have been disarmed within 60 seconds of the first and only shot he took. He was also said to have been hiding behind a pillar inside the school for a few minutes before the shooting occurred.

No motive has yet been determined for the shooting, and reports thus far believe it was done at random.

As of February 1st, 2025, two days before this article was published, there have been a total of 39 people killed and 109 people wounded in shootings in the United States this year alone. Wikipedia updates the total list of mass shootings quite frequently, sadly, to keep up with the current state of affairs.

It's more important than ever to say something if you see something. If someone's behavior is sending up red flags, trust your instincts and report them to authorities. You could be the person to save a life today. Please speak up if something doesn't feel right.
