1) What is the training?
- 1a not all training is good. And people tend to follow training when not given time to think.
- 1b not all training is appropriate for the situation.

2) what did he know at the time?
- 2a how many shooters were there?
- 2b what were the shooters armed with?
- 2c did his position outside make tactical sense in segregating the situation?
- 2d with the chaotic information available to him, would the situation be significantly more likely to be improved by going in compared to the risk of being taken down and being no longer available inside or out?
- 2e would fighting his way through a fleeing crowd excessively compromise any positive effect he might have had?
- 2f when should he have expected assistance?

3) was he hired to be a hero...alone?

We can condemn bits and pieces of his actions - especially given time to think about it, and more full knowledge of events. We can decide he’s not reliable in certain situations. What we shouldn’t be doing is turning into a ferocious mob running on passions.

I just want to know why he didn’t go in.
