I only counted one murder.
A second church-goer has since died at the hospital, or so several reports say.
The perp with the shotgun hit two people, who died.
The second murder occurred as the second person shot by the 'perp'
died en route, or at the hospital.
Two innocent people actually ended up dying — one on site and one at or on the way to a hospital. So yes, there were two murders.
Like you, I do not count the killing of the perp to be murder — because it’s not. That was an animal who needed to be put down and was. Just wish the first guy who tried would have been a little faster on the draw. NOT blaming the victim. He actually bought time for the guard who did take down the scumbag, so he is also a hero in my opinion.
Sorry, did not mean to “pile on”...
