The headlines could have easily have been this:
LEWISTON, Maine Police say a Lewiston woman is dead after showing up at an elementary school.
Police say 30-year-old Tylor Austin was shot dead when she approached the door to Montello Elementary School to pick up her three children Friday morning. Tylor had a protection order out on the suspect who was standing by the entrance lying in wait to ambush her.
Lt. Mark Cornelio said that Austin who had a license to carry a gun for self-defense left her gun in the car. The school went into lockdown as Police searched for the suspect who later was gunned down in the parking lot after he pulled the gun on officers.
You are so right. And there was no way she would tell her kids to meet her out front - too much risk of the guy doing something to the kids.
Either way was the wrong way.
Hopefully, the police will understand and see the dilemma and give her a slap on the wrist.
Unfortunately, I don't think they will.
