There are better videos where it shows the whole thing but suddenly I cant find them because trolls post to much junk and wipe out the critical parts.
the point of my post is you need to watch this and look real hard at how folks deal with the situation and when you would draw and fire if you were carrying and what angle you would need so not to hit others. Look at the shooting and the hits themselves, they were solid torso hits but no hollywood summersault or instant incapacitation. There is no magic bullet or caliber folks period. Down is down, and if you train any other way (IE: I hit the target and it didn't fall but wanted my score anyway) then you are cheating yourself. The gunman didnt drop right away and even when he did he still returned fire and then shot himself. Again down is down folks.
On another note I would love to train that brave but underpowered woman who tried to disarm him. She has COURAGE!! BUT NO BRAINS OR TRAINING. She is the bomb though, wasn't gonna leave her friends behind. What a woman.
Don't shy away from watching these types of things. These will help you rationalize how you may react. They are ugly and hard to watch for some, I understand, but it is important to protect you and the ones you love. The Officer who shot him stated that he thought he was going to go to jail for shooting someone in the back. He was more than justified but due to his improper lifetime of training and thinking he believed he was in trouble when in fact he was quite the opposite. Put shirts on your targets, put them on backwards and sideways as one of our counterparts here says "get out of the box, get out of the box and get out of the box"!
