"ABC Evening News" just had their "teaser" story for the 20/20 episode. It's gonna be a winner. Armed some folks with Simunition guns and had a "shooter" run into their classroom and start shooting. One dude couldn't get his gun out. One woman froze and took hits. Another woman drew and returned fire accurately, hitting the gunman but "almost" hitting a bystander and ultimately getting shot herself (she claims she took out the gunman first).

The story line is "can you really control yourself during a shooting?" They go into the adrenaline rush and explain how LEOs go through "....months, and months and months of training to learn how to overcome this problem so they can still function and not shoot bystanders."

Yep, gonna skip the rest of this story.
