It is notable that this ex-police officer went to his desk and removed his pistol from a LOCKED DRAWER, then went out and shot the guy BEFORE he could shoot more.
It’s also notable the shooter was carrying a multi-shot, LEVER ACTION RIFLE, looked like a Winchester model 94, in 30-30 apparently, yet even with this “repeating rifle”, he couldn’t begin to touch the firepower of an AR-15 semi-auto with a big clip, or multiple big clips.
Last and most important point: Vickers was a trained and experienced person, using the weapon he was trained to use with INTELLIGENCE, rather than an equally radical response to the situation. Calm, collected, and effective.
