Florida's law enforcement is wonderful, especially when compared to California, the state from which I moved. Also, Florida's Constitutional Carry and Stand Your Ground laws empower law abiding citizens to stop violent offenders like this shooter. If an armed citizen were at the scene they could have disarmed the suspect or shot him if he resisted to ensure that innocent people aren't wounded or killed.
I am sure the police in California or any other state would have handled this situation in the same manner. I wonder how many minutes it took for the police to arrive in this incident.
