Armed Bystander Takes Down Gunman At Florida Event

in #news6 years ago (edited)

You probably won't see this reported on very much in the MSM as it doesn't fit their narrative. You will however see record gun violence in Chicago this weekend splashed all over the news and the problem cited as "too many guns" in the "gun free" zone of Chicago.

An armed bystander licensed to carry a firearm shot a gunman who opened fire at a back-to-school event at a Titusville, Florida park, reports local ABC affiliate WFTV9 Reports HERE.

The shooting occurred at Isaac Campbell Park on South Street shortly after 5:20 p.m. when the shooter, whom police have not identified, returned to the park after a fistfight and began firing.

A bystander licensed to a carry a firearm then shot the shooter, who was flown to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

2nd Amendment advocates will point to this incident as a "good guy with a gun" saves lives by taking down a "bad guy with a gun," gun control activists are likely to pretend it never happened - or that local police would have intervened...because when seconds count, the police are just minutes away!

A DJ at the event that was livestreeming at the time, caught audio and video of the event below:

Only the local news reports these incidents. They never make the mainstream news...

  • Good guys with guns save lives!

My God! Is there a solution to this?

Indeed it is a pretty rare occurencs, but it would be decent if we actually GOT all the news that’s fit to print...

More like 20 minutes away in many cities, I think the average is like 13, at least you can throw the telephone at the "bad guy" while waiting for blue with a badge. Hurray, great story. More than a few rounds, just making sure the job was done right. America the beautiful, sometimes.
