Obviously, the shooter was a much better marksman than the police....very troubling.

one man handling two guns and taking down that many people before being shot himself just doesn’t quite compute.

“Obviously, the shooter was a much better marksman than the police.”

My personal observations have always been that contrary to popular opinion police officers are seldom experts on firearms and the majority of them are not skilled marksmen.

In fairness to them, they do a very difficult job and being a gunfighter is but a remote possibility for most of them. It’s also far easier to stroll around firing at unarmed victims that it would have been for the police officers who had to contend with both being shot at and worried about hitting innocents in the process.
