This guy lost any credibility with me when he called the Springfield XD the McRib of sidearms. But to his credit, he looks like he has laid off the McRibs himself and gotten his health in order.
Watching it, the church members appear to be trying to talk the shooter down. The shooter then escalates, shooting two, the church member draws and shoots, taking the shooter down. Even more interesting was how many additional church members had drawn their firearms and were advancing on the location of the shooter within seconds. These were people who were ready to protect the others in the church.
And, this…
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that church elder Mike Tinius said the gunman had drawn the suspicion of church security shortly before the shooting.
Major error. Should have told him to keep his hands where they could be seen if they realized something was wrong (trench coat and backpack a dead giveaway) and then called the police.
