There is scuttlebutt about the killer having shot himself, but so far the sources on this are thin. Even if he did, this woman was still instrumental in bring about the shooters demise earlier than he planned. So good on 'er!

And ‘Amen!’ to your hearfelt prayer, TM.
So does Massad Ayoub....
Clearly, this young lady was a practicing Christian, irrespective of the heritage of her name...which heritage may well pre-date the Christian heritage of many of our names if she came from on of those Egyptian, Lebanese, or even Iraqi Christian areas.
BUMP!

I have been reflecting on how to reply to the 'Assam sounds like a Muslim name' comments on this thread. Thank you for doing it so eloquently, and making it unnecessary for me to do so.

Allegiance and Duty Betrayed
The trashing has begun in earnest. The AP is now reporting that Jeanne Assam was fired from the Mpls Police Dept for lying. She was handling an incident on a bus and lost patience with the driver, swearing at him. The driver filed a complaint. She said that she had not sworn at the driver. Bus surveillance tapes proved that she had. So she was fired for lying.
Don't worry Jeanne. This story has not tarnished my admiration for you! It has, however, tarnished the reputation of the Mpls PD from my point of view. How many of us have said things in the middle of an angry moment that we failed to correctly remember hours or days (or in my case, sometimes even minutes!) afterwards? Firing her for that seems kind of extreme.
Minnesota's loss is Colorado's gain!
Hey Dave, it struck me that you might enjoy this article. :o)
Er, make that “well-written editorial.”
Just heard this:
The man who killed four people at a church and missionary training center was killed by a bullet he fired himself, though he was hit by shots from a church security officer, police said Tuesday.
Matthew Murray, 24, was struck multiple times by a security officer at New Life Church Sunday, but his death was ruled a suicide, the El Paso County Coroner’s Office concluded after an autopsy.
He gave it to her, she listened, and thus, as God's tool was there to confront the deranged killer, whom we now know was listening to a completely different set of voices in his head that he embraced and that drove him there to that Church in hopes of murdering as many as he possible could with his abundance of ammo and his body armor.
A lone girl, armed with one hand gun, and armed with the assurance that she was God's tool, in His hand, against a heavily armed and armored murderer, who had already killed and was anxious to kill many more, driven by the voiices in his head to do so and sure of his own course.
As clear a witness as you can or will find that God is abroad in the land, willing to whisper His instructions to those who have sought Him out, and prepared their heart to listen...and that there is another, evil voice, influencing and moving people towards heinous crime and acts of murder.
The trail of these two, Jeanne and Murray, and the desires, dictaters and listings of their hearts and to which voice they would give creedance and homage, led them there...God's will versus Satan's in that foyer.
It is a lesson, along with the clear second amendment lesson that I and others have already written of on this thread, that we should never forget...and that we should pass on to all who will hear.
They haven't started with the hate speech yet, but that's next, and to be expected.
Jesus said that the world would hate us. He who is a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Her reward in Heaven will be great.

I don't believe that propaganda for a second. Liberal America is uncomfortable with heroes. It trashes their worldview.
bttt
Of course not. Her example contradicts all the Brady Bunch and the MMM has been trying to brainwash this country with. And a Christian to boot!
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Barring gender, I’d say she’s fulfilled that precept.
Matthew Murray, 24, was struck multiple times by a security officer at New Life Church Sunday, but his death was ruled a suicide, the El Paso County Coroner's Office concluded after an autopsy.
Then they go to great lengths to tarnish Assam's reputation:
Also Tuesday, Minneapolis police Sgt. Jesse Garcia said Assam was fired from the Minneapolis force in 1997 for lying during an internal investigation. Sgt. John Delmonico, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, said police were investigating a complaint that Assam swore at a bus driver while she was handling an incident on a city bus.
It seems the MSM cannot tolerate an armed, Christian hero for very long. This was going against all their templates. They just have to shovel some dirt on her.
The MSM can spin it, we know the truth.
Then, while distracted by that 1st individual he was then confronted by this woman, who came at him directly, announcing herself and then shooting it out with him when he refused her surrender order. He missing her three or four time, she strikeing his body armor several times as she continued to advance...two of the bullets finding creases or seams and penetrated and ultimately knocking him down. Then she continuing to order him to stop, and ultimatly firing a final killing shot when he refused to do so there on the ground.
That is what I have heard to this point.
Suicide by couragous, volunteer, femal security guard perhaps?
