will deter some future shooters, at least until we can do something meaningful about guns and a society that seems to produce too many angry people.

It's what they're there for, I thought.

In any event, something has to be done. I’m OK making guns subject to rigorous mental health assessment, although outright bans would be better.

Whether it deters future shootings was secondary in the minds of these officers. There were children in immediate peril, and their job was to neutralize it.

As always, I'd have preferred that the shooter had been taken alive. The shooter's actions made that impossible.

it's news.

People would be spreading stories about cops “just standing around”, or making claims they just shot this poor person in cold blood just because they were trans, or that they put babies in danger somehow, or that the whole story is a hoax and that there was no shooter or victims and cops never shot anyone.

Also glad it was released for another reason, I hope it scares the hell out of the next nut job who imagines going down in a blaze of glory will be some amazingly triumphant moment.

I hope they do so.
