Associated Press: Multiple People Shot Outside Empire State Building

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?

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

Great so this one guy is a good shooter. So?

So, it's quite silly to think that these cops are experts while the people are not. It obviously depends on the individual.

Shrapnel wounds are certainly preferable to a Colorado style rampaging lunatic. Nobody is Jack Bauer.
