A teacher who subdued a high school shooting suspect acted on her
“strong Christian instincts,” the teacher's mother said Thursday.
“I'm
sure she didn't think about it; it was just a gut reaction,” Barbara
McQueen of rural Marshall, Ill., said of her daughter Angela McQueen, a
math and physical education teacher at Mattoon High School.
“We're
just glad that nobody was seriously hurt. She did the right thing and
it worked out fine,” added Tom McQueen, Angela's father.

The parents, who are retired teachers, granted at least three
interviews Thursday but stressed, “We are here to tell everybody about
her character and that she was born on the altar,” said Barbara McQueen.
“My
mother said, and I've passed it on, that Satan makes a mess and God
cleans it up. Angela was there to clean up Satan's mess. We couldn't be
any more proud of her and her three sisters.”
