The mother who performed CPR proceeded to tell Fox 13 Seattle that Seattle Public Schools should bring back school resource officers to boost safety at the high school and deter future shootings on campus.
Seattle Police say the dead student was attempting to play peace-maker between the suspected shooter and another student who were in a confrontation when the gun shots fired.
