A school resource officer’s quick response helped prevent a possible mass shooting after he confronted a lone gunman at an Illinois high school on Wednesday, May 16, officials said.

The white male suspect—later identified as Matthew Milby, a former student at the school—had fired multiple shots near the west gymnasium of Dixon High school during the morning hours.
