It wasn't gun control, the SWAT team, or the massive police presence that stoppped the gunman - it was (almost) instant intervention from another human being armed with a firearm and good intentions, off-duty cop or not. It's just a shame that it had to be "a fair fight" and there wasn't some other like-minded person to aid the officer or stop the gunman sooner.

EDIT: I retract the part about the mall being posted - I'm having a real hard time verifying the posting status of the mall and I don't want to contribute to any misinformation floating around. Can anyone local to that area verify this part for us?
