There are many examples where armed citizens kill, wound, run off an armed intruder.
There will be a full investigation.
Of course there are and kudos to them.
How many examples of armed civilians shooting an armed suspect during a public attack? Especially one like this or the one that occurred in Aurora where dozens of innocent bystanders/victims are close by/running around? I think I may have heard of an incident where a security guard stopped an armed student during a school shooting, but I'm not sure, and plus, that was a child.

Even if half of them happened that way it would be incredibly rare.

Yes there are, but as I pointed out an armed intruder is a thief who uses a weapon to intimidate, not someone intent upon engaging in a fire fight at all costs. I recall a few years ago a home video security system documented a case where very a group of very heavily armed intruders were sent running from a armed home owner. Mass shooters even when confronted by the police care little about escape or giving up.

Considering the history of NYPD shootings, I'm not holding my breath for any deep analysis.
All this craziness yesterday over the Empire State shootings and it appears it was the NYPD doing all the shooting. Mayor Bloomberg should stop worrying about gun control across the country and worry about his own back yard.
Unfortunately the Dems are probably celebrating as this is a major black eye for police commissioner Ray Kelly who many were trying to persuade to run for the GOP mayoral seat.
Why would your first thought be to make this a political issue. That's just sick
They meant to hit 1, they hit 10. That translates to a 10% success rate at wounding the target.
You distinctly said accuracy, they hit him 10 times so claiming 10% accuracy from two pistols is utterly retarded given most of the other injuries were from ricochet.
First rule of the P&OC forum: anything, and I do mean ANYTHING, can be made into a political issue.
Yup!
Post: man kills 3 with knife
Mindless Partisan Retard: sounds like a (insert political party here)
I don't know what happens to people to make them see everything in the world as an angle to how it can be blamed on the opposite political team but they are truly pathetic.
As I note above. Lester Gillis was shot 17 times and still escaped. You are in no position to judge here from behind your keyboard.
One rare incident... Yes there are people that have the ability to sustain quite a bit of fire, however, they're rather rare. Furthermore, it's pretty obvious whether somebody is doing down for the count versus returning fire, so I am in a position to judge here from behind my keyboard.
