Good that someone returned fire on the lunatic, but I’m puzzled. Reports of the attack for days said the shooter rode by the recruiting office, stuck a rifle out the window and sprayed the plate glass door. That the ones killed were hit by bullets that came through the glass door. If that’s the case how did anyone return fire? Did he go through the front door, risking his life to return fire? None of this came out for weeks after the assault. I wonder why? Why did the media try to cover up what really happened?

Sorry, you are simply misinformed. The reports said, quite early, that he sprayed fire at the recruiting station, (where no one was even wounded), then drove about six miles to the NOSC (Naval Operations Support Center) where he killed four Marines.

Later a sailor also died, upping the total to five.

We also learned that very likely one Marine returned fire along with the NOSC Commander, both with personal sidearms.

I hope that helps clarify things for you.

It is easy to see how conspiracy stories are started.
