Derrick Brian Brun was 28 when he was killed on March 21, 2005, during the Red Lake High School shooting in Red Lake, Minnesota. Brun was working as an unarmed security guard and confronted the shooter at the school entrance, an action that allowed others to escape but cost him his life.

The shooter, identified as 16-year-old student Jeff Weise, had first killed his grandfather, tribal police officer Daryl Lussier, and Lussier’s companion Michelle Sigana, then took the grandfather’s police truck and weapons to the school. At the school Weise shot and killed Brun at the entrance, then entered the building and killed additional people before taking his own life. Reports describe Weise as wearing a black trench coat and carrying multiple firearms; his actions were described as planned in advance.

Does anyone have memories of Derrick Brun or information about his work at the school that could add to the record?
