The principal should’ve been shot in the head there. Dude’s lucky to be alive.
Edit: I’m not saying he should’ve been killed, but he was lucky that he wasn’t…
You mean "could've " I'd hope
You can use "should" when discussing extreme odds. The gunman had fully turned toward him and had ample time to pull the trigger. To me it looks like the gun had jammed.
You can, and I think it depends on culture and dialect. But, especially on the internet, clarify and specificity are important af. Even moreso in this day and age, with how politically charged and ready to be defensive and quippy and mic-droppy everybody is.
Someone mentioned elsewhere that the principal did get hit
Yes you can but doing so through a text medium can come off wrong. It makes it sound like he's death was the preferred outcome
That’s why I said he’s lucky to be alive
The gun was empty when the shooter was tackled too. You can clearly see that it had already fired its last round when it gets knocked out of his hand. So I guess the shooter is just a bad shot.
