The founder of the group "Save Our Siblings," who would only identify himself with his first name, Shane, said he was behind the encounter. He managed to set up a meeting with the teacher in less than 24 hours. "People say it's stupid, what I’m doing," Shane said. "They think its very dangerous, but no battle has been won from running from gunfire." Hylka taught science and religion at Saint Joseph Catholic School in Lockport up until Thursday when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet fired him upon learning of the charges. Last year, Hylka resigned from a job at Joliet Catholic Academy after the school said it was aware of online allegations against him.
