(33,982 posts)34. Another quibble.
The shooter at the Gabby Giffords meet/greet was not taken down by armed resistance. The one guy who has been identified that was present, was inside the Walgreens when the shooting occurred. He couldn't see the shooting at all. By the time he got outside and could see the scene, the shooter was already down, someone was sitting on him, and someone else was holding the gun he used.
The THEN proceeded to order the guy holding the gun to drop it, and he did, and then he went in and helped sit on the shooter.
No one drew a gun in response, because there was no one there with a gun, apparently. The guy in the Walgreens might as well have been a hundred miles away, for all the relevance it had to the actual shooting.
