I have been a gun owner all my life & fully embrace the constitutional rights for all; but if I owned an apartment complex, I too would send a letter prohibiting firearm possession on the property. Though not legally valid, it would document my effort to maintain a safe and secure facility for the tenants. (You have to admit that idiots also own guns) I would then offer a discounted apartment to a leo with the understanding that he provide a security presence. In today's litigious world it is prudent to practice defensive law.
As a hypothetical tenant in your hypothetical apartment complex, when a hypothetical armed home invader breaks into my apartment at 1 a.m, while your hypothetical leo is either out working his real job or at home sleeping on his couch, and I am severely injured by the hypothetical home invader, I would sue you for denying me the legal means to defend myself against an armed intruder and for not providing adequate security. You see, In a litigious society there is no escape from a lawsuit! ;-)

P.S. Also, some tenant who is an idiot driver going 35 m.p.h will most likely run someone over in your hypothetical apartment complex parking lot, so you'll probably get sued for not enforcing the 5 m.p.h. speed limit signs you had put up. So you'd better add a "No Cars Allowed" stipulation to your lease.
Hypothetically speaking of course.....Just because youre wearing superman underoos doesnt mean you can fly.

Case in Point:

The bullet went through the wall and struck the victim in the groin as he lay in bed. It then grazed/furrowed the torso before striking the ribs near the heart. The bullet didnt penetrate the victim very deep & I dont remember if the bullet penetrated the heart or the ribs impacted it shocking it.

I have a little more info than what the media is reporting on this case, but cant share it. I am outraged that the shooter will probably get by with little consequence for his actions. Is it possible that the victim would have survived if the shooter had reported the incident immediately?

You can bet that there will be a civil lawsuit as a result of this shooting incident.
