Channel 2 Action News talked to the DeKalb County 911 operator who was involved in the McNair school shooting incident last week.
Monday was Kendra McCray first day back at work.
“Was I nervous? Absolutely. Gunshots in your ear, someone’s life in your hands. Yes, very nervous,” McCray told Channel 2’s Erica Byfield.
McCray has worked as a DeKalb 911 operator for eight-and-a-half years.
She said within 30 seconds of answering the phone on Aug. 20, she knew it was a life-and-death situation.

President Obama called Antoinette Tuff today. :-)
Did he? Wow!
Yep I posted a short clip in the thread above. She’s so grounded and gracious.
How an elementary school staffer talked a gunman out of shooting
Thanks for this, SG2. LO gave Ms. Tuff coverage worthy of her heroism.
Larry O did a terrific segment on Ms. Tuff on last night’s show.
Yes; I saw it. We’re getting the video ready now for posting.
Antoinette Tuff talks down school shooter with 500 rounds of ammo. How did she do it? LOVE! Ms Tuff makes Wayne La Pierre look like a fool!
4. He Was Also Arrested at 15 Years Old for Burglary

When the going gets tough…Antoinette Tuff gets going! :)
Funny how the LAME STREAM MEDIA gave the NRA all that air play after the AZ shooter, Aurora shooter, WI Sikh shooter, Newtown Shooter, should I go on? And now they are throwing us piece-meal segments of Antoinette Tuff’s UNARMED heroism.
See, Ms. Tuff proved she didn’t need to blow that mofo’s head off. She literally KILLED Michael Brandon Hill with KINDNESS. Everybody needs love. She knew it, she’s lived it, and knew how to speak to this man SOUL-SOUL.
Soul II Soul
Antoinette did what she had to do to save lives, and could have been murdered doing it.
@SG2. Yes; Tuff’s TOUGH
This incident didn’t produce any dead white kids so the media is in ‘move along folks, nothing to see here’ mode.
Antoinette Tuff was afforded the protection, because of her great LOVE & COMPASSION for another Soul. The Holy Spirit guided her through the whole ordeal. I get chills listening to her directing this man to surrender his evil.
Her ability to reach past normal flight or fear into a state of courage and grace is almost unbelievable. Hopefully, she will receive the citizen’s equivalent of a Purple Heart.
Ms. Tuff’s courage and grace is something she lives with on the regular. She earned it by walking the talk. But the NRA and the rest of the gun-toting idiots can’t grasp that reality. Courage and grace doesn’t bring them profits.
@2dogsonly
I concur.
Test comment wouldn’t post
Antoinette Tuff a true American hero! Mad props!
This fool took an UNARMED Antoinette Tuff hostage and this is how she talked to him
“Don’t feel bad, baby, my husband just left me after 33 years! … I mean I’m just sitting here talking to you about it. I’ve got a son that’s multiple disabled. It’s gonna be all right, sweetheart. I just want you to know that I love you, though, OK? And I’m proud of you. That’s a good thing that you’ve just given up, and don’t worry about it. We all go through something in life.”
WOW!
But, but we need to arm every teacher and every janitor in every single school. That’s the only answer to a bad guy with a gun.
Of course Faux News and the media prefer to focus on the shooting in OK and attempt to racialize it because they want to make it some type of reverse Trayvon Martin incident.
*sigh*
Anotinette Tuff walking the talk as a Christian.
@Roderick
Wayne La Pierre: we need to arm every teacher and every janitor in every single school. That’s the only answer to a bad guy with a gun.

@SG2 DAPS!!!
All of the gun nuts are trying to downplay this incident claiming that he was never going to follow through on his mission to kill but he just wanted some attention.
They can’t accept the fact that their theory that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun didn’t apply in this case and they are pissed.
All it took was calm, communication, common sense and compassion –something the knuckle dragging gun nuts know nothing about in their play world of supped up hypermasculinity and penis extenders (guns)– to difuse this situation.
The NRA is playing this game now:
Antoinette Tuff is a beautiful soul!
God bless her!
Yes; she truly was working with and had the protection of the Holy Spirit.
