That’s what happened at the mass shooting at mine.
It took about 15 minutes for police to get there, and then a little longer for Swat teams.
The Swat guys had him in their sites, but didn’t shoot him. I know they were worried he had hostages. About 30 people were trapped in my building hiding.
I know the conspiracy theories fly, but even the cops are unsure how they’ll react in that situation. My experiences in battle zones taught me that normally fear and anger are prime motivators, but LEOs are taught to have a clear background before shooting vice being in a war zone where normally anything goes when engaging the enemy. The fact alone that the cops didn’t even engage this punk leads me to be skeptical of the story, as when in those situations just the basic curiousity of the situation will lead the cops to come running.
