If the police are uncertain about any more shooters in the van send is drone or robot. If there is ever a reason to use a robot or drone it is in these circumstances.
................
This level of preparedness of any attack is not completely estranged from this area. A few years ago there were two people that robbed a bank (?) and were dressed in body armor from head to toe. It took the same type of effort to bring the robbers down. I think one of the robbers survived the police response.

This event is strange for the number of people involved in the crime and the number of people shot and killed, but, there have been the occasional extreme event.

Statistically, this is an outlier to the body of information regarding police research.

Just the same, there are many people carrying guns and many people currently dead and hospitalized. From what I hear all victims if not dead are hospitalized. There were no minor injuries and there is also one police officer with a non-lethal injury due to the police response.

...The Police Foundation, (click here) a research group based in Washington, D.C., released a detailed report Monday on how Stockton police responded to the July 16, 2014, armed robbery of a Bank of the West branch, where three gunmen took three women hostage and fired at officers from a speeding SUV.

The group found that 32 officers unloaded more than 600 rounds during the hour-long rolling gun battle, which spanned three counties, 63 miles of highway and reached speeds of 120 mph. One of the hostages, Misty Holt-Singh, was killed when she was struck by 10 police bullets, authorities said. The two other hostages jumped or were thrown from the vehicle during the chase and survived.

Police officials said they fired on the vehicle to potentially save lives because the men in the car were shooting indiscriminately. The gunmen disabled 14 police cars with gunshots, the report stated....

This event is domestic violence that have become all to familiar to the American landscape. That is not to say criminals such as this haven't learned their skills by observing the success of other killers. They most certainly didn't dream up their techniques alone.

There are assessments stating this could be work place violence. Wow.
