Paper does not shoot back.
There is ZERO factual evidence that shows that any amount of shooting time, cqb training or anything else like that would allow a completely caught by surprise KID to draw and fire. Never mind not accidentally shooting another innocent...
Would someone armed have helped this situation?
Nobody will know.
Period.
Circular logic with circular reasoning leads to the same argument over and over.

Well, I don't necessarily disagree with you Likwid.
But, I would prefer the probability (however small) of a lawfully armed citizen taking out a shooter [and possibly wounding me or another innocent] over the near certainty of being killed by a shooter if I am unarmed. You have to give people more credit than you are.
BTW, thirty of the thirty-two fatalities died before the cops arrived on scene.
