Just a couple of points - 1) - Yes, the former LEO did a terrific job, no doubt. If you haven't seen the video, it was quite a long shot. Not difficult, but it was no gimme either. The bad guy had a not very good disguise on, and the Church security already had their eye on him. 2) - This is absolutely not an insult, but I think the first armed security guy made a fatal mistake. He had sort of an awkward draw, it was a delayed draw if you will. My instructors have always taught me, the threshold to draw is extremely high, but if you have to, draw and shoot. Don't go for your weapon to scare anybody, don't draw to try and intimidate them because you could wind up dead. That, is what happened. He stood up with his arm behind him, sending all the signals to the bad guy - "I'm drawing my weapon now" then the bad guy shot him. The good guy is a hero, it appeared to me he and the LEO were drawing at the same time, had he followed thru, or had he drawn his weapon and fired while he was seated, he might still be with us. Years ago I confronted an invader one day when I was working from home. He didn't think anyone was here and I had my 870 on him before he had time to get to his pistol. The point is, train, practice, and then practice more.
