The people across from her dove under the table and while she was reloading, they pushed her out and barracaded the door. So, it seems as if it was randomly based on where people were sitting.

Also, interestingly, one person, I think her last name is Marietta or something, I'll try to look it up, is credited with saving everybody. She grabbed the woman's leg and spoke with her trying to talk her down. The woman then turned the gun at her but it was empty. While she was reloading, that woman led the charge to get her out of the room. She was the woman's closest friend in the department, and I believe she was African American (by her picture which is on some of the news websites).

Anyway, all that leaves me to believe that it was coincidence and not racially motivated as to who got shot and in what order.

Here it is:



Woops: Moriarity, I was close... Woops, and not African American, I must have mistaken her picture with one of the victims.

Anyway, tragic and awful for everyone involved!

Didn't know bullets had a color preference...will keep that in mind when one of my Program Reviewers has a breakdown at the next Board meeting
