What makes you think they had a chance to chase the perp?

The guy pulled a gun on them and prior to that he killed a person. If the cops wouldn't open fire rightaway -- the perp would.

You are right about the trigger discipline, it’s just that in this incident they did what they had to do.
yes you are correct, every situation is exactly the same which means every outcome will be the same also.

These are trained police officers...and even they can't control their gunfire in broad daylight. Can you imagine if 5-10 people were armed in Aurora inside a smokey dark movie theater???
Some people want you to believe that if other people were armed, they would have taken down the shooter with one clean shot and been the hero...I think this pretty much proves them wrong.

I don't know where you work but not many companies will keep someone who makes a mistake of that magnitude.
