So the police can wait 3 hours while people are slaughtered?

Guest commentator on WFTV9 said from other shootings (Paris, Sandy Hook, etc.) they have learned that they cannot simply wait these situations out. The perp(s) will continue to shoot as long as they have ammo and opportunity.

Police were delayed because they didn't know exactly where the shooter or shooters were. As they got more info, they learned that people were hold up in the women's restroom. They went through the outer wall to reach them. The outside wall offered some protection due to its concrete construction.

They then went through the outside wall into the men's restroom and managed to save some, but engaged the shooter there.

Police had to be tactical. They couldn't just rush in and start shooting.

They were in negotiations with the shooter for a couple of hours. When negotiations seemed to break down, they mounted the attack.
