Andrew Brown did a hell of a job
The USAF failed miserably in allowing the shooter to remain in the service instead of just booting him when things became obvious. Heck, he could have been prosecuted for some of the stuff they essentially ignored.
When things went real south and the nut job (I won't say his name) went off, Andrew Brown responded brilliantly and stopped the insane rampage right on the spot and right now. I wonder if Brown was a member of EST? The Security Police Academy always stressed marksmanship and tactical fire, but EST takes it quite a bit farther. We burned ammo by the shovelful. Great shooting under fire by any measure.
At any rate it is a story worth remembering for what went wrong and what went right. Lots to learn, or relearn as the case may be. Brown has my respect.
