DIXON, Ill. -- A high school resource officer is being praised for his courage in confronting an armed 19-year-old man before he could hurt anybody when police said he opened fire Wednesday morning at Dixon High School.

The press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was hardly more forthcoming.
“If they want to meet, we’ll be ready,” she told reporters on Wednesday, “and if they don’t, that’s O.K., too.” She said the White House “fully expected” North Korea to take this tack — an assertion belied by the scrambling of officials when the first reports came in from Pyongyang on Tuesday evening.

Meo’s friend, Mark Sturgis, ran when the shooting started. He made it only 20 feet before DiNardo sprayed him with bullets from a silver revolver. Then, flustered by Meo’s screaming, DiNardo jumped onto his father’s backhoe. As he turned the earthmover toward Meo, the screams stopped.

The president’s company has also been stymied by some of the new ethics restrictions it voluntarily adopted after the election.

But as North Korean officials abruptly cast doubt this week on Trump’s planned historic summit with Kim in Singapore next month, critics fear that a president determined to declare victory where his predecessors failed will allow his desire for a legacy-making deal to override the substance of the negotiations.
