A group of Junior ROTC students are being praised for rushing to the aid of a police officer who accidentally shot himself before a high school school football game.

The three students from Brackenridge High School in Marble Falls, Texas, sprang into action after the gun of a seated school resource officer discharged, resulting in an injury to the officer's leg.
