You've got pretty good odds when there are four of you rushing someone with a rifle..I get the hesitation, but 15 minutes is literally lifetimes

If I recall the accounts of the shooting properly, the shots were occuring in fairly rapid succession and possibly from more than one gun so they may not have know there was only one gunman.

There were 5, actually, but one was a police trainee and three were rent-a-cops. I don't think it was the right thing to do but that would be a tough scenario to be in.

I know I am no one to judge this as I couldn't begin to take on this type of mission.. but I agree with Lt. Sutton.. Someone, the senior officer, needed to take charge and show leadership in this situation.. and it simply just did not happen.
This is not at all like what you see from most police officers working as a team.
Again though I have to remember they are just people as well. I do feel like if he is shooting crazy towards outside they could go ahead and barge in and take him out.. or at least threaten him in some fashion to distract him and give those people more of a chance for escape.. but I will quit with endless possibilities, because it's not my place to judge. I wasn't there and I don't know the situation.. It's such an unfortunate situation and all I can ask is that they learn something useful from this experience moving forward.
