Just a point of minor correction, as someone I know was one the the responders. 3 people shot at McQueen (wheelchair guy), but it was the TAC team's sniper that hit McQueen, not Heffernan.
That case seemed more cut and dry, as sad as it is. He shot at a bus driver and numerous police officers. They tried to use gas on him, but he came out and aimed a weapon at police again.
It's important the news and others don't cherry pick things that add to the sensationalism of the story such as saying "he shot the guy in the wheelchair too" when they aren't false, as it starts to discredit a very important message.
