Antoinette Tuff Hero from McNair Elementary School Georgia Shooter

Antoinette Tuff a bookkeeper at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy is being called a HERO and a natural hostage negotiator. This pretty girl convinced an unstable gunman who busted into the main office of her school to surrender to the police. She used “grace under fire” when Michael Brandon Hill walked into her school and threatened to kill himself and others. The 20-year-old armed with an assault riffle held the office staff hostage and demanded that they call the news so they could watch him kill police officers. Imagine the terror that ran through Georgia as we watched from our homes and offices. I have a friend whose a teacher there and one of my childhood friends has a daughter who’s in Pre-K there too. We watched and prayed but little did we know Antoinette was in the background using her God-given abilities to talk this man off the ledge; literally. Antoinette told the gunman that

“I told him, ‘OK, we all have situations in our lives. It was going to be OK. If I could recover, he could, too.”

Antoinette shared how she felt alone when she lost her husband and Michael confided that he had not taken his medicine. She convinced him to surrender to police and promised that everything would be ok.

Check out what she had to say about her ordeal below:

When reporters called her a hero Antoinette had this to say,

“I give it all to God. I’m not the hero. I was terrified.”

Despite what she says we think Antoinette is a PRETTY HEROINE! We all have God-given gifts and abilities. Thank goodness Antoinette kept her wits and was able to use hers to diffuse a very hostile situation.
