If I knew there was only one guy and I thought I could effect and end to the slaughter, yes. If I wasn’t sure how many people there were and I might get caught in a cross-fire that would only have resulted in my death and additional shots being scattered around the heavily occupied wing of the school, then no.
If you’re over 30 feet away from the perp, it would be very hard to hit him. With his rifle he could take you out with a shot or two.
Folks, I’m really sorry there weren’t 18 deaths total. I know there are quite a few folks here that are disappointed.
Then why in hell was he armed? What’s his job. If that’s what we expect from cops than we can’t ever expect to be protected. THIS IS SO LAME.
The man is a coward. When a 15 year old and a coach lay down their lives to protect others from being shot what do you say? Secure the perimeter.
