This terrifying ordeal, which took the lives of 8 people and injured 7 others, is one of the exact reasons why we promote the importance of responsible concealed carry. Some of the folks who were gunned down likely didn’t stand a chance, but being able to stop a threat as soon as possible is always the best solution, and in these cases that typically requires a good guy with a gun.

The officer who shot the suspect saved countless lives, and is a true American hero for going towards the sound of gun shots.
