A Georgia high school coach was suspended after he defended himself and restrained a student who was in possession of a loaded weapon in school.
“I don’t feel like I did anything wrong,” Tri-Cities High School coach Kenneth Miller said, according to News 19. “I only adhered to what Fulton County School Board Policy says you’re allowed to do.”
Miller said that on Aug. 20, the school’s principal called him to her office about reports of students on campus with guns.
“During that process, we located guns. We saved lives,” Miller told Fox 5.
Miller confronted one female student while in the presence of police officers. Miller and the officers were unaware the student, who eyewitnesses described as belligerent and aggressive, had a gun at the time of the confrontation.
The situation escalated when the student hit Miller with a stapler, News 19 reported. Miller then grabbed the girl and restrained her until officers stepped in and took her into custody.
Miller was initially fired, but the school district later reversed the decision to a suspension which has lasted months, News 19 reported.
