How to use shooter in a sentence?
There was tons of people running out of the club. I grabbed my assault rifle and ran toward the club. At this point, the shooter is still actively shooting inside. some ran towards the building; some stayed back with people running out.
Menasha Police Chief Tim Styka:
The shooter shot all four victims unprovoked and at close range.
If there is a weapon of any sort, not just guns, in somebody's hands when we respond in a situation like an active shooter or an assault in progress... officers have additional pressures placed upon( them) to evaluate an awful lot of info in a short period of time and hopefully arrive at the correct answer to mitigate danger to everyone involved, now as a responding officer, I have to very quickly, and when I say quickly : seconds, milliseconds ; make a determination in my mind, is this a friend or foe type of thing.
I saw people running and then some others got out (of) their car and began to run as well, then I heard police yelling and telling people there was a shooter at the bank and to back away.
I was struggling the whole tournament probably until the Final Four, and as a shooter, it's hard. Like, it just makes the days longer and you think about it all day long. But I knew... I couldn't go the whole tournament and not shoot well.
