The Chicago-raised Engelbert was part of a team of officers that took down a shooter who had killed six people — including three children — inside The Covenant School.At a news conference Tuesday, Engelbert slowly and solemnly detailed the actions he took to help stop the shooter, identified by police as 28-year-old Audrey Hale. Hale died as a result of the shots fired by Engelbert and others.
“I really had no business being where I was,” Engelbert said at the news conference. “You can call it fate or God or whatever you want, but I can’t count on both my hands the irregularities that put me in that position.” “I treat them all the same, but I was driving as safely as I could get my body there,” Engelbert said.
