The shooter was indeed a F—>M trans, was rabidly pro gun control, yet had two “assault weapons” and a pistol. But the real award goes to the cops here.
The call is made, a car with two officers responds. They find some place to park, and while clearing the first floor they hear shots on the second floor. So they climb up there, see the shooter and kill her. ALL IN 14 MINUTES FROM THE FIRST CALL!
These officers need serious commendations.
A good editorial:
If the mentally ill ’mustn’t own guns,’ what about ‘trans’ people?
Looked to 6-8 in this stack.
They took time clearing the first floor, before going to 2nd floor where the were blocked by a locked door and had to find another way up. Didn't they still have the keys they used to get in?
Why not have breaching tools with you?
A teacher, outside, told them where the shooter was, but of course, they had to clear the first floor, because the shooter may have moved or there could be more than one.
Why not have a second stack clear the first floor while the other went to the second?
Don't know if it would have saved anyone and, of course, this is my arm chair quarterbacking and I have no experience in such matters, so take this with a tablespoon of salt.
That said, the officers didn't dither, they were organized, moved fast, were fearless and didn't hesitate to end the threat.
They are tlo be commended.
They, certainly, didn't Uvalde the situation.
Her mother was pro gun control. Don't know about rabidly but did have some comments on her social media.
Trans IS mental.
