8 Reported Injured After Shooter Alert at Ohio State University

...Except, you're talking to people who have military training, emergency services training, and / or prior experience handling emergency situations.

Not random thugs and punks who think they're tough because they caught a sale at Hot Topic.

According to another thread, thugs would not get clothes from Hot Topic.

You have that training, and a major component of that training is communication. You are not part of a team responding to a situation, thus you should limit your involvement as this increases the danger to you and others. Get people to safety, if attacked defend yourself, but don't run to stop a shooting with your gun.

Police literature even supports this idea, getting involved should be a last resort: http://policelink.monster.com/train...ps-for-officers-engaged-in-off-duty-incidents

Just because you have training does not mean you should get involved in the situation, your involvement may cause bigger problems.

So why didn't this guy use a gun?

Well, he's dead, so I can't really ask him, but, he was looking at a lot of ISIS/Islamic recruiting videos according to the authorities, so there's a good chance he ran across the ones where ISIS was calling for lone wolf attacks with vehicles and knives.

Otherwise that's a pretty big coincidence.
