The point of the article is that Jeanne Assam was not a "licensed security guard". As such, it was fine for her to have her Beretta semi-auto pistol to perform the "security" task. Had she been state licensed as a security guard, she would have been limited to a revolver.

I agree with the previous poster with respect to an S&W 686+ with 7 rounds. Seven rounds of .357 magnum from a 686+ would likely have been equally effective. We don't know enough from the article to say whether the Beretta was 9mm or 40 S&W. Apparently 10 rounds did the job.

I still think the coroner lied in the public statement that shooter died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound after Assam hit him with 10 rounds from her Beretta. The shooter didn't have a shotgun. The weapons identified were are AR-15 rifle and two semi-auto handguns.

9mm

But the perp had both a 9mm and a .40, along with a Bushmaster rifle.

Precisely. The MSM wants to make sure her status as a private citizen with a CCW never gets aired.

I’ve read elsewhere that Jeanne’s firearm was a 9mm. And my impression was he shot himself with his handgun. He had three weapons on him.

True, however most states which have a legal requirement for liscenced security personnel to be armed with a revolver further specify that said revolver be no more powerful than a .38 Special, which is totally inadequate. (When I went through training for the Commonwealth of Virginia as a security officer, this was the case, and I suspect Colorado's statutes read similarly, if not identically.)
