I heard about this the other day I was hoping and praying that he would make it. Sending my condolences to his family . To the two students who witnessed this, he protected the both of you and sacrificed his own life. That is a true hero.

Horrible news. Sending endless prayers & condolences to the Morlack Family!

My prayers and condolences to his family and school district
