| #7 Sounds like Ken Hammond fought like he trained, and it sounds like he trained well. Very heartening to see good people like this make a difference. And he had a good caliber (.45ACP) weapon with knock-down power to take this guy out. I would like to see a lot more people trained and obtain concealed carry handgun permits. It makes everyone safer. Utah has a concealed carry law that has reciprocity in many states. |

| #5 I live near SLC, and have followed the local coverage closely. First, Ken Hammond of the Ogden Police Department did an outstanding job. He knew what to do, and did it perfectly. He cleared as many people as he could, and engaged the shooter with his Kimber .45. Officer Hammond engaged the shooter about 3 minutes into the episode, and it was another 3 minutes until the SLCPD arrived in force. So, for 3 minutes, he was all there was between the shooter and more victims. I think it is significant that once Hammond engaged the shooter, no more bystanders were injured. Fine job. The shooter had a troubled past, with two past incidents of threatening girls with a knife, and one of shoplifting. There is nothing so far that indicates to me that the kid was anything but a sad, lonely, flipped out kid who happened to be a Muslim. Maybe there will be facts that overturn that opinion, but so far, none have been presented. The local Muslim and Bosnian communities are appalled at this action, and have offered public condolences. Terrorism? Maybe that will be shown. But so far, not. |

| #1 With the FBI and police refusing to take this Islamic kid's computers we may never know. The leader of his mosque was convicted of wife beating but heh, that's Islam for you. Specifially the koran. |
