I respect the man...alot

I hope there are corroborating witnesses.

It would make sense though as the event seemed to get shut down early and there is no explanation of why so far.

From what I've read, I'm pretty sure he didn't kill himself in response to police presence or fire. That could be wrong. I wasn't there.

I am shocked this hasn't been reported by the MSM yet...

Shocked! Shocked I tell ya!

When tactical pressure is applied to to active shooters, they generally respond by killing themselves or surrendering. Seldom do they do this before that pressure is applied. Seems in this case it was applied by an armed citizen without a shot being fired. Good job.

It won't get reported. It's been overshadowed by more recent events already.

You're probably right (on both aspects).

And quite likely the difference in the resolution of both events will be ignored too.

I don't think it would have been reported even if nothing else had happened. The media would have made up stories before they would have allowed widespread reporting of this. It is a narrative that doesn't fit their agenda.

I hope that someone is able to verify beyond a shadow of any doubt that this is indeed a factual statement. Because if this is...then we have the evidence that we need to support our position.

If this is factual, we can show that gun control laws would not stop these mass killings. More armed law abiding citizens is what we need to stop these events.

Interesting; The repeated reference to his TRAINING, not just the fact that he had a gun.

Hats off to him and his situational awareness. He could have easily started playing cowboy and popped off a bunch of rounds. Instead, he made the decision that he could hit civilians, but he never took his eyes off the shooter or lowered his weapon. I do believe that he saved many lives that day.

had heard about this, not on here. I am sure it will not go very far with the media, cause there was not a lot of blood, so no leads. As already stated, most of these mass shooters when confronted, surrender or kill themselves. Most seem to be going out for the press, instead of just offing themselves, cause the media loves giving that evil a spotlight. Another story I had read stated it, how many remember the names of the victims of Columbine, yet we remember the names of the shooters. Same with every other shooter. We need to stop posting anything on the shooters. Deny them any and everything to get them famous and I am sure they will stop happening. Like the NCIS episode, the guy wanted to be a famous serial killer going against Gibbs, so Gibbs made it so the name could not be released, since he was a terrorist, and would never get his credit. And yes, I know NCIS (the show) is not true, but still had a good point.

Either way this is news that should be reported. But the media certainly won't vet it.

Like others I'd love to find out more about this and hopefully it's true. Great job by Mr. Meli, he is truly a hero in my opinion. This just restates what we here on INGO have been saying since day 1 about properly trained individuals carrying legally. I agree with repeter1977 110% on his statement about the shooters names. To hell with the shooter, lets remember and honor the innocent lifes taken instead of wasting a breath on pure evilness.

Sorry if this is a repost
Found it interesting if its true its just another reason to support being armed
And NO this is not a CC vs OC debate its about being armed and doing the right thing

I'll bet you don't hear this on any if the Sunday talk shows.

 

[daddymikey1975]

Good find.

I submitted a link to the local news outlets for their perusal.

Doubt it will get air time though.

Nice to know there are more like us willing to do the right thing.
