You know, a good guy with a gun. The only thing that can save you from a bad guy with a gun.

“… by a member of the event’s peacekeeping team”. Peacekeeping. Sure.

To be fair, they very much did stop someone whose intent seemed to be mass violence. The man who died caught a stray, which is still a tragedy but it could have gone so much worse

That (no doubt unintentionally) casts it as a simple “trolley problem” dichotomy. But it’s not a dichotomy. “Commit fewer homicides than the bad guy might have” is not a win condition, it’s barely more than a push.

I think they meant ‘Piece Keeping’ … people who keep pieces, aka a gun or firearm … it’s people who keep guns

Well, with fairness they were shooting at an armed gunman.
They just uh… didn’t land all their shots on target.
