The gunman apparently was not carrying any form of identification and it will take time to take his fingerprints and run them through databases, local and federal officials said. The gunman was described as a white male, armed with a single handgun, a law enforcement source said.

They allow 18-21 year old college students in for C&W music and dancing. My guess is lots of the victims attend one of the nearby universities and colleges nearby.

It's their asses on the line. A cop with a handgun is no match for a nut with an AK.
