#1 Good job, Agent. 'Nice to know that some government servants still have the balls to stand up for just causes - even when it is risky. I'm only sorry that the thug gunman is still breathing.

I can only imagine the bureaucratic crap that the poor Agent now has to go through. It's probably worse than participating in a gunfight.

#2 He's required to intervene, same as he's required to wear a piece while shopping with his family.

#3 Reminds me of time 20 yrs ago I was working in a Houston,Tx mall.Went into work one morning and there was a chalk outline on floor cordoned off by crime tape. Even then I didn't watch the news so I asked what happened. Seems a thief had tried to rob a jewelry store and had fired a shot into the ceiling and mall security responded. Unfortunatly for our thief this was about the only mall in America where Mall Security went armed.
Afterwards,rumor had it the jewelry store owners asked that the outline and tape be left as they felt it would deter shoplifters.

#4 I lived about a mile away from the Mall in 2003 and 2004. Pretty high-class place, being in the State Capitol of the Socialist State of Maryland.
