Steven Mathew Forsyth
A shopper and a shopkeeper, gunned down by a 22 year-old man for no apparent reason.
The sheriff is taking credit, saying that mall security and the quick response of his agency prevented the gunman from taking more lives. Except there is a problem ... the perpetrator's gun jammed.
The police have a saying: when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
Once again, the police responded within minutes. 2 minutes? 15 minutes? Accounts don't specify. I can only wonder if the outcome might have been different if other, law-abiding shoppers had been armed. Would the gunman have even contemplated such an act if he knew that his targets might be able to resist?
