Re: Authorities Respond to Report of ’20 Victim Shooting’ Incident in San Bernardino: Fire Dept.
After reading through the posts on here, I will say this. I heard the police briefing just a bit ago. The spokesman (the Chief?) said that police response time was only 4 minutes from the first 9-1-1 call. That sounds like a very decent response time, and I believe the police did their utmost to get there in an expedient manner. Also, they were able to track and end those killers without any additional injury or death to folks living there, to the best of my knowledge. However, the old expression held as true as it could in this case: "when seconds count, the police are only minutes away". That is no dig at the police in the slightest; they did their best. However, they simply cannot be everywhere trouble may happen, it's impossible. The best defense is an armed defense by the citizenry. This was a tragically horrible event, I am glad the murderers were stopped, but I wish that someone had been able to do something when the whole thing started. I really do feel bad for the families and friends of those lost and injured.
