"Strother (the attacker) was shot and killed by a civilian, Ashad Russell, a witness to the whole incident with a concealed weapons permit and gun. All three shots hit Strother. "

"Interesting note - there were no 911 calls made from the scene."
No one thought to call but numerous people thought to catch the incident on their camera ("They <the States Attorney's Office> took in about a dozen videos and photos from witnesses."

Simply amazing.

I'm still surprised the press uses the term, "Good Samaritan". That's biblical term and the press is intent of keeping religion out of everything, then they use this word.

The reporter and editor probably didn't know that, being good, little secular progressives who never went to church (or didn't listen if they did).

IIRC this is the second one of these on 75 in FL in less than a year.

A gun store in Fort Myers Florida, Shoot Straight, has donated a new XDS to the shooter. I plan to be fairly close to FM in about a week. I will try to stop by and make at least a token purchase and express our support from the Buckeye state.
