Apparently you don’t understand; an anecdote is not “truth.”
It is certainly a possible contributor to the initial success of the perp. To state otherwise is to deny human physiology.
Apparently, you don’t understand. In this case, it was. Read the article? You said tyranny of the anecdote, which is actually pretty good, however, in this case, the story is true.

Nice. I guess you didn’t read the comments in the article you posted though:
From the FBI (6:25 PM CDT/26 May); Excerpt;
“The heroic actions of the Master-at-Arms Petty Officer 2nd Class who risked her life and did not hesitate to engage the subject, as well as the actions of the Navy Security Forces, likely stopped what could have been a much more deadly attack.”
“Last Thursday, just after six in the morning when investigators say Alsahli drove up to the north gate, pulled out a handgun and opened fire at a Navy Guard. Fortunately, that guard was wearing a bullet resistant vest and it wound up saving her life. She was able to activate the security barriers preventing the shooter from getting onto the base. Then she and other security guards opened fire, killing Alsahli.”
True. But in this case, it was. Anecdote or not.
The story at your link was bunk.
Hopefully you learned something
I doubt it though.
