[QUOTE=Figmo Bohica;601636]On Sunday, 2 days after the CT shooting, a man went to a restaurant in San Antonio to kill his X-girlfriend. It's like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant! Now aren't you wondering why this isn't a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting? There was an off duty county deputy at the theater. SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone. So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened.

After the Aurora theater shooting, there were many posters who commented that IF moviegoers had pistols of their own, the crazy shooter would have been killed in a barrage of bullets fired at him. I do not know if Colorado has a lot of people carrying concealed weapons. I am figuring that Texas (especially San Antonio) has lots of people carrying concealed weapons even in a theater. It was an off duty police officer who shot the crazed shooter - and I believe most jurisdictions require off duty officers to carry a pistol - and it was NOT one of the moviegoers who shot the crazed shooter.
It was a well-trained police officer who shot and NOT a bunch of wannabee cowboys not used to shooting under stress and no telling where the cowboys' bullets would have ended up. It could have been massive collateral damage.
