This is getting to be a little bit too much. I wonder though, maybe the recent increase in these mass shootings could be due to the coverage of the Aurora shooting. Giving ideas to unstable people?

This is the actual story:

Disgruntled man shoots ex-coworker; police shoot him, and nine bystanders.

Looks like an excellent argument against people going all vigilante justice on shooters. If a cop can't take him down without injuring others, what chance does some amateur have?

If an experienced shooter with a gun were in the crowd...

Obviously amateurs shouldn't just start shooting willy-nilly.

Wouldn't you say a cop is an expert? In these situations the chance of mistakes go way up, especially if you aren't trained to handle that pressure situation.

Plenty. This hero put a bullet in the shooter from 150+ yards.
