Spainhouer called 911 and got in vehicle, raced to site, got there before any other 1st responders. I believe police officer on site had already "neutralized" shooter.

This could have been so much worse had that officer not happened to be there, by chance, on another call.

Every incident is horrific. This one touched to very, very close to home. I've shopped there with my mom. Too many people I know shop there. I don't believe it will ever be the same. We truly are not safe to go anywhere, anytime of the day or night.
