In reply to the discussion: Texas shooter called father from car, then shot himself [View all]GaryCnf
(1,399 posts)6. I have ZERO problem with this guy.
It takes major courage to put yourself in the line of fire under any circumstances.
I do have a problem with the "good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun" NRA-inspired narrative that is being swallowed by the media. As the authorities have stated, this was a targeted attack, not just random violence. It stopped because the murderer's objective had been achieved.
I apologize if I was unclear.
