    I thought it was pretty noble to ask to let the other guys go, because he signed her termination.

    I'm very glad that guy was too drunk or whatever to shoot straight.

    It was an intense thing to watch.

    Yeah, when I heard about this on the radio, they just said that a guy pulled a gun at a school board meeting and shot himself. I didn't realize that he actually tried to shoot the people sitting up there.

    looking at the video, it's debatable that he tried to shoot them- but that was the impression he was trying for... I know I wouldn't miss at that range- he had plenty of time to aim.

    This looked like SBC, pure and simple... a case were Less-than-lethal alternatives would be a better outcome- take him out with a Taser or the like- and get him some help.

    At the very least, he got his wish- however bad that wish was.
    This is an example of somebody that is mentally ill that has a gun.

    He ended up shooting himself, so I don't think anything could have been done.

    Edit: I know what its from, it just doesn't make any sense.

    it doesn't make sense because you're not in the same mental state...

    Not sure it would have wound up any different with any option, it's just sad that he died because he let evil take him over- that's my view...

    I totally agree that less than lethal is a viable option in this situation but what do you think the correct course of action would be for a civilian CC'ing in this room? What would you guys do? Shout Show Shove Shoot Shoot?

    Gun-free zone, AFAIK... which means civilians wouldn't be legally CC'ing in that room...

    That aside, the best outcome would have been disarming the agressor... I think someone who is not armed would have had the best chance- anyone armed would have been perceived by him as the 'cop' that would enable his suicide.

    That would require skills and bravery beyond the average person to perform.

    Whoops I honestly didn't even think about the gun-free zone, maybe its time for me to get some sleep. But yeah that would require some balls and some sweet krav maga.

    What is the V you guys are talking about?

    By the way, all joking aside, I found that video terrifying. I need to get back to competitions asap. I've missed at closer than that range at my very first match. I figured I was so close that I could just point and shoot. I was wrong.
