Exclamation Armed intervention triumphs.

You must have missed the follow up news conference where the Las Vegas Police spokesman announced that autopsy results showed that the male assailant was in fact killed by a police rifle bullet, not by a bullet from the female assailant. The female was also struck by police fire.

Police, not wife, killed Las Vegas cop slayer

Also note that the killers shot the police officers and then fled. They did not intend to be apprehended or participate in a suicide pact. They fled to the Walmart store where the male was killed by police fire. The woman, after being wounded by police killed herself, which (as I have said previously) is not uncommon when the bad person with a gun is confronted by the good person with a gun.

The high incidence of assailants shooting themselves when they encounter armed opposition is a major argument for having police officers or other armed individuals constantly present on school campuses, rather than having to wait for a police response after the shooting has started.
