http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5045479/Walmart-shoppers-drew-handguns-shooting.htmlPolice say startled shoppers at the Colorado Walmart where a shooter opened fire and killed three stalled the search process after they drew their own handguns in defense.
The shoppers' immediate response to the violent event 'absolutely slowed' investigation as it left authorities scanning through surveillance tapes in pursuit of the single armed attacker.
The few innocent yet armed individuals were eventually weeded out as suspects, amid the several hour-long investigation which began Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.
What an absolute crock. So some guy comes in a store, shoots and kills three people, concealed carriers prepare to protect themselves/others (which is the point of having a CCW), bad guy leaves, CCWers don't hurt anyone, and they blame the CCWers for slowing down the investigation?
Because they had to weed out other armed people from surveillance footage to determine who the attacker was?
