My only question is why he even asked permission. Active shooter on campus? Carry out the Plan of the Day: Stop the shooter with all necessary force.
Yea, but if nobody knows about it, then you are a “shooter” on campus. Even if you’re shooting at the bad guy.
Don’t get me wrong, he should have done what he could have to help. But someone has to know he’s out there doing it and okay it so they can tell the cops there’s a good guy out there and what he looks like.
