Excellent rationale and description. Having seen the interview with the guard who shot the killer, I am even more convinced they did the right thing. I wonder to myself if the men who stood there unable to take action were not convinced of the danger or were untrained perhaps? Don't know and don't want to judge but it seems to me that your article is right on.
