The shit never stops ...
http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/06/justice/seattle-campus-shooting/
(CNN) -- When Briana Clarke heard popping sounds on a Seattle college campus Thursday, she thought the source must be something innocent -- bursting balloons. Then she saw a classmate running frantically, saying someone had been shot.
A gunman had opened fire at Seattle Pacific University, killing one person and wounding two more before he was tackled by a student security guard, Seattle police said.
The gunman was reloading a shotgun when the tackler, working as a building monitor, used pepper spray and knocked him down, police Capt. Chris Fowler told reporters.
"Once on the ground, other students jumped on top of them and subdued the shooter," he said.

The suspect, 26-year-old Aaron Ybarra, is not a student at the school, police said.

(182,769 posts)1. So there IS more than one way to stop a bad guy with a gun
Hmmmm that reloading thing also stops another shooter. How about that.
Don't let reality intrude, pls.
In all seriousness, had he not run out of bullets, more lives would have been destroyed. There is no reason at all a civilian would ever need to fire 20 rounds at once.
I mean, what are we defending against? And any deer shot with 20 rounds wound be inedable.

Not only that, but it is illegal in most states to hunt deer using a rifle that has a magazine with 20 rounds in it.
