While it is good to know what to do if an active shooting takes place in a public setting, then it could be a bit late.
Some other questions come to mind, including the following:
1. How did the carjacker get his guns? It has been reported that he had a very long criminal history, and that he had also been on “community supervision”
2. Who was doing the “community supervision”
3. What exactly is “community supervision”
4. What, if anything, can we learn from this?
