thinking straight. While people do have the right to bear arms, one would expect they would use them with good judgment. Not only was firing a gun dangerous but it also prompted another employee to pick up a gun and start shooting also. Now, I don’t know what other people are thinking but while other people were commenting about thieves learning a lesson I was observing on how many bullets missed their targets and made holes in the windows. As a father of 2 toddlers I have to say that anyone ready and willing to open fire in a closed environment in which more bullets went through the windows then hit their targets is not a place you will find me or my family.

Spending 13 years managing security and having investigated numerous incidents similar to what occurred, the thing we promote the most is to make a mental picture of everything that happens and to give the detailed information to the authorities to deal with. I know that many people may not have faith in their justice system but that is not the point. The point is that fatalities are rare, near none, if you do what is asked. While the outcome did not end with fatalities, the recipe was certainly there. I hope that I don’t offend anyone but as a father I would rather be, where if a situation like such should occur, the people around me will make sound judgments, for their reaction can mean the life of my family.
