In a crisis, untrained shooters may be as likely to take innocent lives as save them.

Let's consider the record on this one.

In the Appalachian Law school incident, already discussed, "untrained" shooters saved lives rather than taking them.

Somewhere else a few years ago, "Pearl, Mississippi" if I recall correctly, an assistant principal got his weapon out of the glove compartment of his car, putting a stop to a shooting situation, without taking any lives at all, innocent or otherwise.

And then there's Columbine. "Trained shooters" all around, all of them wetting their pants. Lives saved - zero.

Do these folks have any examples of untrained shooters actually taking innocent lives?

You correctly see that "Trained shooters" = government shooters in this article.

Many ordinary citizens are much better trained than many ordinary government shooters.
