Mass Shooter who began firing rounds of live ammunition from two of his several AR15 rifles into a Bass Pro Shop was stopped by local police. He was wearing a bullet proof vest.

The cops tasered him and apprehended him. There were no casualties or serious injuries.

I'd like to applaud the cops in Spanish Fort for their professional handling of this event, which could have been a fatal mass shooting. The suspect was carrying several rifles and handguns, with hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Guarantee you the shooter was white. EDIT: Looked at the article, no, much to my surprise he's black. The cops showed restraint and it's goddamn sad how unexpected that's become.
