I've been doing some research and it seems that a number of shooting sprees are cut short by armed civilians. I gotta do more research, but so far that seems to be the trend. And it would make sense. If nothing else, it would serve as a distraction to allow people to escape. Or it would make the assailant take cover and stop shooting.
So far I've found out about the Pearl High School shooting spree that was cut short by a principal who had a gun in his car, the Parker Middle School dance shooting that was cut short by the venue owner, and the Trolley Square Mall shooting where an off duty outside of his jurisdiction pinned the shooter down with fire from his personal carry firearms until swat arrived.
These are only 3 incidents and I'm still reading about more. The massive tragedies we hear about continue due to no resistance. The ones met with resistance are cut short. And since the body count isn't big, the news barely covers them. I can get all conspiracy theorist on you guys, but I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
