Let’s understand this one point of fact: No one other than Military/Civiliam Police carries weapons on Military Installations within the installation proper - the only area of a Military Installation where soldiers are permitted to walk around armed is the training grounds. This incident didn’t occur anywhere near the training grounds. It was near office buildings. The only person who was armed when the shooting started, and before LE responsed, was the shooter.
See 91, I’ve been in countless clinics on military bases in my day and can’t recall any time where there were no armed personell present, both during daytime and nighttime visits.
Yep the doctors and nurses and staff are not armed, but I can’t think of a time in any of them where I was in a clinic where at lest one MP wasn’t on premises dealing with a “patient” for one cause or another.
Lets also note, if the reports continue this guy wasn’t using 2 semi pistols, he had 1 semi and 1 non-semi, 40+ folks shot with semi and revolver before he’s confronted? Even with a dual clip I’m having a hard time with the facts as presented at present. They just aren’t passing the smell test of my experiences.
