I was 50 yards away when the bad guy was inguaged, I wish it had been my shot, my .45 was in hand and a skirmish line was moving to the bad guy from two directions.
I was also there as a part of out SWAT team when we took down a POS who killed a Winter Haven Officer (Johnny Patterson). I took fire but couldn't return fire due to civilians and children in the structure being used to hide behind by the POS. Supreme frustration.
But the bottom line must be. We may have paid a price but we won and the asshole will never conduct that action again.
I've been to too many funerals of great comrads.
God bless all.

Amen my friend...I too have laid too many friends to rest and escorted far too many more to thier final rest as a motor officer.
It' something I hope I never have to do again, but alas, another time will come
In this case, FWIW, justice was served!
