[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1069139, member: 14668"] It probably hasnt been reported for the simple reason that the massacre in Conneticut occured 2 days later, with a far higher death toll, and the media naturally focused on that. Also, the fact that lives may have been saved by a person with a concealed weapon permit is not one that our traditionally anti-gun media would care to report in the first place. Another piece of information that has sort of been overlooked...is the fact that the shooter fired over 60 shots yet (thankfully) only hit 3 people before turning the gun on himself. Many of the rounds were actually fired up at the ceiling. The media has made a big deal out of the fact that he used a so-called "assault rifle" with a 30 round magazine, but the reality is that he could have used a revolver or a shotgun or pretty much any sort of firearm and the outcome (2 dead one injured) would have been the same.
