I have three more on my list, which I will publish later.

Of course, when a mass shooting is stopped by an armed citizen, there are not as many victims. Critics can always claim that it is then not a "real" mass shooting.

It is interesting but the next story on FR after this one is about a hospital in Birmingham where the shooter wounded three before being shot to death by an armed person. So add this to the list.

Let me get this straight:
When the Indians attack the fort,
the Cavalry wants to take away the guns from the Cowboys.
Brilliant!

There is an article up right now at KGW about the guy with a CCW that may have stopped the shooting at the mall the other day. Read it at the link below.

Back when we preferred freedom and individuality to Government slavery and ownership, we were all citizens. “Civilian” is just another term signifying Government property.

Mark:

I will actually challenge you (or any one else) to find a list of mass shooters who have been killed BY COPS responding to a mass shooting incident ...

Last one I can think of was the University of Texas (Tower shooting) back in the late sixties. He was killed by a single cop who climbed the tower unassisted (not a SWAT team or “expert” who was assigned the role!) ....

Instead of trying to defend our gun rights, what if we considered that these kinds of things often happen in “advertised” soft target areas.

Let’s face it. If a business, school, college, etc. are going to advertise they are a “gun free zone,” do they not have the responsibility to ensure that is the case at all times?

Suzanna Hupp launched an entire movement of CHL here in Texas, and rightly so.
She learned a horrible lesson that day.
The gun sitting at home is worthless when you need it at Luby’s.

Some resources on school threats for consideration. (There’s some old news here, but evil, terrorism and massacres never go out of style.)

Here is a question I want to see asked on a national talk show —

Can anybody name the last time a POLICE OFFICER has STOPPED a mass murder?

It seems every time there is a mass murder, it stops when they guy kills himself.

At Virginia Tech, the police stayed outside while he murdered people.

In Columbine, they also stayed outside.

In other cases like this one, by the time the police arrived, the guy had killed himself.

At Aurora, the police were nowhere to be found.

So, when is the last time someone was in the middle of committing a mass murder, and was then stopped by police?

I remember in 1966, the police stopped the “Texas Tower Shooter” Charles Whitman. So I think it does occasionally happen, or at least it did in the old days.
