University Student Disarmed Gunman; 4 shot
Awesome student confronting evil!
SEATTLE (AP) — Police say a Seattle Pacific University student on Thursday disarmed a lone gunman who entered a building and shot four people.
A hospital spokeswoman says one man has died and three other people are injured, one critically.
Police say the student building monitor disarmed the gunman as he was reloading. Several students held the gunman until police arrived.
Police say the gunman is under arrest. The Otto Miller building where the afternoon shooting took place has been secured.

I wonder if he was using a revolver. Sounds like whatever he was using was low round count and took time to reload.

I just read that one of the wounded has died. So two dead and two wounded. The attacker has been reported as using a shotgun. As he was reloading a student sprayed him with pepper spray and then grabbed him. Other students joined in to hold the attacker down.
Hats off to this young man for his selfless act.

Proof that an armed citizen can protect themselves and others. Even if it's pepper spray. Glad it was enough to get the job done... This time.

Now some will say "see, all that's needed is pepper spray" just because that was the case in this instance.

Reading comments in one article about the shooting, and that's all I'm seeing. A whole bunch of anti-gun, anti-NRA propaganda.mojo84 wrote:Now some will say "see, all that's needed is pepper spray" just because that was the case in this instance.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Re: University Student Disarmed Gunman; 4 shot
The hero who saved everyone was a volunteer guard with pepper spray. Colin Noir pointed me via a Facebook post to his Facebook page. Under his likes were more than a few gun manufacturers.
So he's a gun guy.
Doubt that will be talked about on the news.
