"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’t count on both my hands the irregularities that put me in that position when a call for service came out for an active deadly aggression at a school. I immediately turned on my lights and sirens knowing the severity of such a call," Engelbert said."I’ve been to I don’t know how many false active deadly aggression calls.
"We cleared the hallway we had, room by room, until we made it into the lobby," the officer said, describing when he and other officers first made entry."When I did hear stimulus, I couldn’t get to it fast enough.

Eventually, following the guidance of other officers, I luckily deployed my rifle, kept walking toward the sound of gunfire.
"Work wasn’t over, we didn’t know if there was another threat," Engelbert said of the time after taking out the shooter."Immediately took teammates I’m not used to working with started clearing rooms, escorting children, teachers along. There were more personnel and resources at this time. I was able to guide them out."
