A news link posted at our friend Commander Zero’s Notes From The Bunker [1] blog: Shooter killed by staffers at Michigan church, police say; at least 1 person wounded [2].

JWR’s Comments: Note that the PBS reporter failed to mention that the “security staff ” were volunteer armed citizen church members. Oh, and we can add Ford F-150 pickups to our list of viable self-defense tools. Any large mass in locomotion is a potentially useful lethal force.
