Police response times are measured in minutes. Sometimes a whole lot of minutes. Incidents where people die or are horribly injured because of crime are often over in seconds. Other than posting a cop in every restaurant around closing time, there would appear to have been no way that a cop could have gotten on the scene before what happened, happened.
If the information in Post #269 is correct, then there are several people who may well owe this legally- and responsibly-armed citizen a debt of gratitude. One person died. The innocent ones lived.

Responding to ONLY paragraph one........increased Police PRESENCE would ALWAYS deter crime.....end of story.
........Putting oneself in the mind of a criminal, would you rather shoot up a bar or be a burgler in an area with no electronic surveillance or an area with HEAVY electronic surveillance? The question answers itself because, with HEAVY video or other surveillance, the criminal is CAUGHT and found GUILTY.........that is called BASIC DETERRENCE.
