This hero's courage and sacrifice needs to be appreciated and he should be honored greatly. May he rest in peace.

He sounds like a true hero from the news reports.

God bless his soul.

Yes, Agree.
The Sheriff stated he ran into the club and engaged the shooter drawing fire away from patrons. Other off duty officers were in the club, but all were unarmed (according to the Sheriff). I believe they also shielded people, but were unable to engage the shooter for obvious reasons. I guess even LEO in California do not see the need to be armed off-duty or they were unable to be armed while in the bar/club. Someone from commiefor...err California might be able to give us some insight into possible reasons they were not armed (by statute, personal, etc,)

The reports I heard earlier (and again just now in fact) he was on the phone with her when he got the call.

Sheriff's news conference just now reports the shooter had extended magazines; 45 cal Glock, legally purchased; served in Marine Corp; I'm sure a lot more to come after the investigation.
