My Comment:
Well there you have it, another mass shooting prevented by a good guy with a gun. I'm sure people will conveniently forget about this case when they talk about new gun regulations. It's still a tragedy that someone died and it's sad that the doctor got hurt as well but it could have been much worse. As far as the doctor goes he may have been carrying his firearm illegally, but i would hope the police would be smart enough to use some discretion in this case. Same goes for the hospital. But the way things are going in this country he will probably end up in prison and/or lose his job.
