I had no idea regarding any of the particulars surrounding this incident as I live nowhere near Tacoma or even Washington for that matter. Of course ANY loss of life due to gun violence is especially tragic. My comment was meant to convey that I was glad this incident had turned out well for OP and his personal situation.
