This will be an interesting legal case if the bullying part is true. It does seem that he just got pummeled by the other kid--although who knows who started it...the kid with the gun may have been feeling extra confident. A judge/jury (and even the charges brought) could be a little more lenient if there were facts that show this shooter under threat or just attacked. Even with a fight "broken up" the threat could remain. They weren't worried about fighting in class before.

All that said, a the system should not look past firing at the teacher (who just barely had stepped into protect the shooter). That one will be hard to attempt to justify.
