Indeed if there were 20 armed citizens who had some idea of what to do, some could have shot while the others stormed. A few shots point blank down the shooter’s collar would have done wonders.
I hope that arms associations like the NRA don’t just go away from this saying how terrible. The event should prompt a new move towards training in situational awareness.
Agreed.... but to those who disagree. running in this case might have saved some but tell me that if your standing in the dark and hear a round go by or are even struck by a round that u would not take cover this man preyed on the weak BC he felt in control but if the playing field would have been leveled I believe not as many would have been hurt or even killed.
It’s no laughing matter, getting hit in soft armor with pistol bullets. I’ve seen photos showing ballistic putty behind the kevlar, with a crater about two inches deep and wide. IOW, you might not die, but you are sure going feel like you were shot. A novice like this guy, taking hits in his torso wearing soft armor, was probably going to stop shooting and run away when he knew (and he would know) he was taking effective fire.
