‘Good Guy With Gun’
Swept Under Rug by Las Vegas Police
Golly Gee Wally, Why could that be covered up ?
Think it happens routinely in/with/by, ‘ANTI GUN’ people.
(Especially the ‘media’ !)

"...  Normally, this type of defensive gun use would garner significant media attention and make national headlines. Entire news cycles were dedicated to covering gun owners who stopped mass shootings at an Indiana shopping mall and a Texas church.

Yet, despite undeniable evidence that an armed civilian successfully ended a serious incident in which a gunman was bent on violence, the mantra of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department so far has been:
“Nothing to see here, folks. Just move along.”

Meanwhile, the mainstream media, including local news outlets, compliantly stopped asking questions.


Now, the public should be asking a whole new set of questions—namely, why would the government go out of its way to pretend that a verifiable defensive gun use never happened?

           The story might have died there had it not been for social media.

Although this video had been shared by some significant social media accounts and viewed millions of times, not a single major media outlet had picked it up as of Tuesday morning. And, stunningly, neither Las Vegas police nor any major media outlet had bothered to clarify the initial reports publicly.

After all, it’s been more than four days since this shooting. Normally, after that amount of time, law enforcement either has provided answers to such questions, or the media is demanding that such answers be provided. 
But, curiously, even when pressed to clarify details that are now public knowledge, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department simply refused.

—three full days after the shooting—to request confirmation that an employee of the condo complex shot a gunman, a public information officer told him to file a Freedom of Information Act request.
..."

Check it out, not hard to find.

 I remember hearing about it in the UK on July 4.  Not sure what was said in the US.

There are two reasons shootings make news... they are tragic,.. or they are rare.
This one is rare.

One can hear the FACTS.
Or one can ignore them.


Massive errors in FBI’s Active Shooting Reports regarding cases where civilians stop attacks:

Instead of 4.4%, the correct number is at least 34.4%.

In 2021, it is at least 49.1%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 50%.

A large percentage of “active shooter” incidents are thwarted by armed citizens who sometimes don’t even fire their weapons, but those cases are no longer counted under President Joe Biden’s pro-gun control policies.

FBI stats omit good guys with guns regularly.

Outside of so-called gun-free zones, that bar the legal carrying of firearms, over 63% of active shooting cases were ended by an armed civilian, according to the Center.

REPORT: FBI Undercounts Good Guys With Guns Who Stop Mass Shootings
The FBI allegedly underreported how often armed citizens thwarted active-shooter situations over the past eight years, according to a new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC).

" Data provided by the CPRC shows that 34.4% of active shootings were thwarted by a good guy with a gun between 2014-2021. The FBI, however, only lists 4.4%

The discrepancy is explained by the fact that because law enforcement agencies do not compile and submit comprehensive active shooter reports to the Bureau, the statistics are largely based on reviews of news and other reports regarding such incidents. As a result, many cases are missed or misclassified. "
