For some reason I was feeling tired, I\u2019m a proactive unit. I work for the central bike team. I guess I hadn\u2019t finished my coffee and I wanted to complete some administrative tasks. So I wanted to go to the Metro Police Academy.<strong> I had some business to attend to there. En route there, that put me in the midtown sector, so I really had no business being where I was. I think you can call it fate or God or whatever you want, but I can\u2019t count on both my hands the irregularities that put me in that position when a call for service came out for an act of deadly aggression at a school.<\/strong> I immediately turn on my lights and sirens knowing the severity of such a call like Sergeant said it demands ample resources in which I was available like I said I was attending to myself. I\u2019ve been to I don\u2019t know how many false act of deadly aggression calls something told me it was time for to really get to this one. I treat them all the same but I was driving as safely as I could get my body there. I don\u2019t know the area I needed to put it in GPS, when I arrived, I don\u2019t know the layout of the school. Luckily due to the bravery of two staff members, they stayed on scene they didn\u2019t run and they gave me concise, clear information for me to use to help anyone in danger. Gentleman gave me the exact key I needed to enter the building. It was readily apparent, I was gonna be the one to make entry. I\u2019ve been given my training I know my role and I made entry with the personel I had and luckily I had some. I saw there were patrol units and I asked for people to join me as I had a key. I was unaware of any other access points other than the one I had\u2026Like I said I don\u2019t work with anyone that was there that day so we had to use plain speak to understand each others roles what we had to do. When I did hear stimulus I couldn\u2019t get to it fast enough. I just looked for the nearest staircase I could find because I could tell it was above my head. Following the guidance of other officers I luckily deployed my rifle, kept walkng towards the sound of gun fire there were, like the Sergeant said some smoke in the air. It was very simlair to the training we recieve. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>People praised Engelbert for his heroism.<\/p>\n<p>Very humble hero. Just getting the job done.<br \/>But his heroic actions saved countless lives. God bless him.<br \/>And God bless the families who lost their loved ones in such a horrible way. But to be reunited in heaven.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 VICKI WALDRON (@VeedubbTexas) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VeedubbTexas\/status\/1644479745021599745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>God bless Officer Engelbert! <\/p>\n<p>\u2014 KR_HOPSON (@KR_Hopson1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KR_Hopson1\/status\/1644440555856752665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>He&#8217;s seems quite humble.
