Glenn Dee:
Could anything be more tactics related?
Yes. There is no info
now that is tactics related. Two were shot and killed, the suspect is attempting to or has evaded capture. There's nothing to learn from this, and no discussion of tactics in this thread that I can see, other than perhaps "don't get shot."

Clearly this thread is latent with tactics with more info sure to come.
The thread may be
latent with tactics, but what is that worth? Wild speculation based on 2nd hand accounts has no more practical value than a zombie scenario. Until there is specific information regarding the incident (which there probably never will be because the shooter won't likely incriminate himself, and the driver has already been uncooperative and will likely plead to a lesser charge 'down the road') there are no tactics to critique or learn from.
And your "tactics" at work aren't anything revolutionary and nobody is discussing them. If you were to present a detailed Emergency Action Plan, or a Continuity of Operatons Plan, then that's another story. If he comes into your shop, you're going to relay a code word and draw on him, an armed ex-convict who already has the drop on you? Okay, sounds great. "Muskrat, this is Tango Foxtrot, we have a 10-417 in progress! Roll out!"
If you're really that concerned, keep your doors locked throughout the day with a sign on the door that instructos patrons to knock/ring and wait for admittance, giving you the true tactical advantage through positive identification prior to entry (you choose the time & place of initial contact), with an alert (center of mass) staff (concentrated firepower).
