A man disarmed a would-be hostage shooter at a church in Amarillo, Texas, but when officers arrived, he was shot twice.
On Feb. 14, the same day the Florida school shooter killed 17 people, a gunman barged into the Faith City Mission during morning church service.
Police said the initial call just before 9 a.m. referenced an armed suspect holding approximately 100 people hostage in the chapel.
Just before police arrived, Tony Garces, a student at the city mission, snatched the handgun away from the would-be killer after others wrestled him to the ground.
“I took the gun away from a man who attempted to take others in the church hostage,” Garces told Fox News. “He already fired off one shot and I wasn’t going to let him fire again.”

I’m not going to argue with you. Have a nice day.
That could be an issue.

You too.
Yes...But no one dies...{:-)
It seems a profoundly bone-headed move by the cops to say, Drop it! Rather than, Put it down - slowly!!!
re: “It sounds like we agree.”
You are absolutely correct. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents and I picked your post to reply to. Not, because I disagreed, but just to blowhard a bit.
