They were told that if they do anything he had explosives in a vehicle he can detonate. I believe the initial officers drove the guy into the bathroom and that enabled people to escape out of the exits in the main part of the bldg..
“I believe the initial officers drove the guy into the bathroom and that enabled people to escape out of the exits in the main part of the bldg..”
I recall reading that. But the only report from an officer who was one of those who went in initially, does not say that. He says they heard shots, and tried to figure out where the shooter was. He does not recall anyone shooting at the shooter or the shooter shooting at them.
They figured out he was in the bathroom area, and the shooting stopped.
That is when they called HQ and HQ told them to wait for SWAT.
THe shooter had a minimum of six, perhaps as much as 15 minutes before he stopped shooting, and it wasn’t officers who stopped him.
