Good Morning America reported today that the shooter had 39 other bullets with him! (gasp!)

The Doc was apparently breaking hospital policy (and reportedly had been doing so for 5 years). Co-workers are calling him a hero, and looking forward to his return to work...

without any background on the Doc, I cannot say he is a good posterboy for our cause, but on the surface he seems a lot better than Zimmerman.

There has been no mention of a racial component, so this is not going to go down like the Zimmerman case, thankfully. Also no 17yr old 200+lb "child" involved, and many other differences.

The computer re-enactment on TV showed 3 people in a small office. Bad guy draws gun (the graphic had an SA revolver - but that is essentially meaningless at this point), shoots & kills woman, turn on Doc, who gets his gun and shoots it out with the bad guy.

On the surface, this looks like a good shoot, and hopefully future events will bear this out.

Also, once again, I am peeved with the media's improper use (position in context) of the word "allegedly". A woman was killed, there is nothing alleged about that.
