Student Pepper Sprays Gunman At Seattle Pacific University

A student building monitor at Seattle Pacific University stopped a gunman who already shot three people by pepper spraying him in the face!

CNN reports:

When Briana Clarke heard popping sounds on a Seattle college campus Thursday, she thought the source must be something innocent — bursting balloons. Then she saw a classmate running frantically, saying someone had been shot.

A gunman had opened fire at Seattle Pacific University, killing one person and wounding two more before he was tackled by a student security guard, Seattle police said.

The gunman was reloading a shotgun when the tackler, working as a building monitor, used pepper spray and knocked him down, police Capt. Chris Fowler told reporters.

“Once on the ground, other students jumped on top of them and subdued the shooter,” he said.

The suspect, 26-year-old Aaron Ybarra, is not a student at the school, police said.

They say they think he acted alone, but the investigation is continuing. Police did not disclose a motive.

CNN affiliate KOMO identified the student security guard who tackled him as Jon Meis.

Meis carries pepper spray as a precautionary measure, his roommate Ryan Salgado told the The Seattle Times. The report described Meis as a devout Christian and dedicated student.
