→Shooting: Re-adding the reference I had removed earlier. While the article makes no mention regarding the number of armed responders, I now see that the news report video does include info regarding the reaction time of neutralization within 6 seconds. So now including this reference in support of the first statement of this section. But it only reports that "some church members grabbed their guns". No specific count. |
