There was one witness statement that said she had shot him and he “went down”, and then he reached for something that they thought may have been a grenade, and that was when she started shooting again... I’d have to search back through to find that statement again, as the most recent accounts don’t include that part.
Regarding the callers you mentioned: Even 2 security guards hired by the church were paralyzed in this situation — they had their guns drawn, but couldn’t pull the trigger. And, they wouldn’t hand the weapon over to someone (Bourbonnais) that had been in combat before and wasn’t afraid to use the gun... (I’ve often heard the message that if you purchase a gun, and if you carry, you’d better be prepared to use it... Otherwise, it could become a liability instead of a help.)
Rocks??? Yeah, that’s gonna help... *smacks self on forehead* — one wonders about such people. Their intentions are good, but when faced with someone intent on killing people you must turn the situation around, and merely incapacitating the shooter is most times not an option — at least not from what I’ve read about these things...
Regarding Miss Assam:
She may indeed be an angel... But, there is no doubt in my mind that she had angels with her. From another statement the gunman fired 3 shots at her while she was directly advancing on him... And, she wasn’t hit? It doesn’t sound like this kid was a “bad shot”, but she is unharmed... THAT is the power of G-d as far as I’m concerned!

That is true, you never pull out a gun, if you don’t intend to use it.
Because if you point a gun at me, I will fire first.
