“Well it’s a crying shame there weren’t some good people packing in Sutherland — often that can deter — or at least minimize the casualties”

This guy was in full combat gear including a kevlar vest evidently. A normal 9X19 type slug wouldn’t have stopped him. He was expecting to have fire returned on him.
