Maybe Art 92, failure to obey a lawful general regulation.

“The taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for this.”

That’s always the problem, and why the real perps never learn. There will be more such incidents.

The Hill leaves out pretty much all of the day’s events. The below is to the best of my recollection. Please correct if I’m off track on something.

Well across the street from the church was a residence and the owner was a man that was a gun safety instructor. He heard the shooting, grabbed his AR-15 and ran out the door towards the church. He got to church area about the same time as the gunman was getting into his pickup for the getaway. The Samaritan put several rounds into the drivers door side as the gunman drove away.

The Samaritan ran back to his house for his pickup and gave chase. This ended up on a highway at very high speed. He was on the phone with 911 throughout the chase. Law enforcement was closing in but not caught up.

Somewhere along the line. The Samaritan realized that he didn’t know if had any rounds left. He hadn’t grabbed a spare magazine and he knew the mag in the rifle was not full when had run from his house. The Samaritan kept on the chase.

After some miles, still on the phone with 911, the gunman exited the highway and rolled to a stop in the grass. The Samaritan grabbed his rifle not knowing if he had rounds remaining and approached the gunman’s pickup. The gunman was passed out or dead. It turned dead IIRC. Multiple AR rounds at the church had penetrated the door and hit the gunman. He had bled out on the highway chase.

Cops finally caught up.
