Shooter Targets Back To School Event — Runs Into A Good Guy With A Gun

“Peace in the City,” the event which was held in Titusville, Fla., was billed as a “day of fun” with “no violence” — but that didn’t stop a man (as yet unidentified by authorities) from returning to the location after a fistfight and opening fire.

A bystander with a legal license to carry a firearm quickly engaged the shooter, preventing what could certainly have been disastrous. The shooter was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but no other casualties have been reported.

The story from a local source....

Police: Armed bystander takes down gunman at Titusville back to school event

An armed bystander shot a man who open-fired on a back to school event at a Titusville park following a fistfight, police said.

The shooting occurred at Isaac Campbell Park on South Street shortly after 5:20 p.m. when the shooter, whom police have not identified, returned to the park after a fistfight and began firing.

A bystander licensed to a carry a firearm then shot the shooter, who was flown to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

Gunman Stopped by Bystander at Local Park
Saturday, August 04, 2018

A man involved in a fistfight with another person at a crowded park, left, and returned several minutes’ later with a gun and opened fire. The gunman was then shot by a bystander, who was lawfully licensed to carry a firearm.

Reports of the shooting started coming in at 5:20 PM on Saturday, August 4th 2018, at Isaac Campbell Park, located at 701 South Street.

The initial shooter was airlifted to a local hospital with life threatening injuries. His gun was recovered from the scene.

The bystander who shot the suspect waited for officers and has been fully cooperative with the investigation.

There were no other reported injuries.

“We are extremely grateful that nobody else was injured in this incident” said Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson. “This suspect opened fire at a crowded public park, this could have been so much worse”.

This case remains an active investigation by the Titusville Police Department. Detectives have consulted with the State Attorney’s office and no charges are expected against the bystander as his actions were within the law based on the preliminary investigation.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Titusville Police Department at (321) 264-7800 or can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward by calling CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS.

Now for the Florida Open Carry Law. If he was carrying it on his hip, he is going to jail. Since he had a legal firearm, he was a CCW and it wasn't visible until he pulled it.

In Florida, you can legally open carry a loaded firearm while engaged in, or going to and from, Fishing, Hunting, and Camping. With some planning and preparation, a law abiding person can open carry a firearm in public and stay in compliance with the law. But you must have a license even them to carry it.

Sounds to me that both weapons were legal. How the one was used is in question. Yes, we need more guns, don't we. Looks to me that your "Righteous Shooting" was the fact that there are just too many guns and one person decided to use his "Legal" gun to settle an argument. Maybe we should make sure all drunks are armed when they leave the Bars at 2 am as well.

Are you really this stupid.... with each post you show you don't know what you are talking about....

If the good guy had a gun on his hip, dipshit......it was concealed...... on his hip...... ....are you that dense? And since the cops said it was legal... doofus.. ......that means it was legal however he carried it.......

Sounds to me that both weapons were legal.

And where does it say the actual shooter had his gun legally, you doofus? Considering he came back and fired at people in a back to school event, odds are he was a gang member with an illegal gun, you doofus..... but.... we will find out.

Simple ignorance accounts for the broadest majority of anti-gun commentary and opinions. If more people were more knowledgeable about guns and related issues there would significantly less gun paranoia and unnecessary persecution of guns and gun-owners.

Nope. Not at all. But I see where were two legal guns involved. One was used illegally and one was used legally. I wondered how long before something like this would have come up. And it wasn't the kids that were the targets. It was the guy that was involved in the fistfight. The kids were just there. You can read anything into this you want but here it is in the nutshell.

Person A and Person B get into a fist fight. Person A disengages and goes back to his car and retrieves his perfectly legal gun (which now becomes an illegal firearm). Person A comes back to shoot Person B and Misses. Person C shoots Person A using his CCW firearm. And that is the whole thing. Everything else would have been considered collateral damage had any other people been wounded but they weren't. You can read into it but it's pretty damned simple. Sounds to me like it's YOU that want to hear about children being shot to prove your point. Well, the point is, your point of , We need more Guns, gets lost on this one.

It was Concealed. It didn't say it was on his hip. Mine is on the Shoulder. Some are behind the back. While others carry it inside the belt in a holster. Rarely does anyone carry a hip mounted CCW because the bulge gets in the way and everyone including their mother knows you are carrying it, it defeats the purpose. Once again, you are just making shit up.

Newsflash: stupid, In Florida, you don't need a CCW to carry your handgun in the truck of your car. Nor do you need a license to have a handgun in your home. Sounds to me like that would account why the culprit would have to leave and then come back with the gun. Let me know when you think you deserve to have your ass back. I see it still isn't held on by velcro. That's gotta smart.

And he came back to shoot one person and one person only, the guy he was in the fist fight with. He wasn't there to shoot a bunch of kids. Otherwise, he would have done just that. It was a target rich environment if that were the case.

Odds are, you are an idiot and we don't have to wait to find out about that. We already know. Here's your ass back.

Maybe we should make sure all drunks are armed when they leave the Bars at 2 am as well.

Come on, what you are really upset over is that the wrong person got killed and there weren't a lot of kids murdered.

Nope. Not at all. But I see where were two legal guns involved. One was used illegally and one was used legally. I wondered how long before something like this would have come up. And it wasn't the kids that were the targets. It was the guy that was involved in the fistfight. The kids were just there. You can read anything into this you want but here it is in the nutshell.

Person A and Person B get into a fist fight. Person A disengages and goes back to his car and retrieves his perfectly legal gun (which now becomes an illegal firearm). Person A comes back to shoot Person B and Misses. Person C shoots Person A using his CCW firearm. And that is the whole thing. Everything else would have been considered collateral damage had any other people been wounded but they weren't. You can read into it but it's pretty damned simple. Sounds to me like it's YOU that want to hear about children being shot to prove your point. Well, the point is, your point of , We need more Guns, gets lost on this one.

What happened is that a bad guy with a gun showed up at the school and a good guy stopped him and you CANT STAND IT!

I just gave the whole story as it is currently known. Without all the BS and tears involved. Nothing was read in, no BS added. If you are going to tell the story, tell the whole story. In the end, it ends up reading that there were just too damned many guns and a lot of people got off lucky. It's a poor example of "More Guns".

Shooter Targets Back To School Event — Runs Into A Good Guy With A Gun

“Peace in the City,” the event which was held in Titusville, Fla., was billed as a “day of fun” with “no violence” — but that didn’t stop a man (as yet unidentified by authorities) from returning to the location after a fistfight and opening fire.
-----------

A bystander with a legal license to carry a firearm quickly engaged the shooter, preventing what could certainly have been disastrous. The shooter was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but no other casualties have been reported.

Was it on his hip? I doubt it. Here is the whole story to date. And it's still under investigation.

Gunman Stopped by Bystander at Local Park
Saturday, August 04, 2018

A man involved in a fistfight with another person at a crowded park, left, and returned several minutes’ later with a gun and opened fire. The gunman was then shot by a bystander, who was lawfully licensed to carry a firearm.

Reports of the shooting started coming in at 5:20 PM on Saturday, August 4th 2018, at Isaac Campbell Park, located at 701 South Street.

The initial shooter was airlifted to a local hospital with life threatening injuries. His gun was recovered from the scene.

The bystander who shot the suspect waited for officers and has been fully cooperative with the investigation.

There were no other reported injuries.

“We are extremely grateful that nobody else was injured in this incident” said Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson. “This suspect opened fire at a crowded public park, this could have been so much worse”.

This case remains an active investigation by the Titusville Police Department. Detectives have consulted with the State Attorney’s office and no charges are expected against the bystander as his actions were within the law based on the preliminary investigation.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Titusville Police Department at (321) 264-7800 or can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward by calling CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS.

Now for the Florida Open Carry Law. If he was carrying it on his hip, he is going to jail. Since he had a legal firearm, he was a CCW and it wasn't visible until he pulled it.

In Florida, you can legally open carry a loaded firearm while engaged in, or going to and from, Fishing, Hunting, and Camping. With some planning and preparation, a law abiding person can open carry a firearm in public and stay in compliance with the law. But you must have a license even them to carry it.

Since it's illegal to have a gun while you are in a Bar serving booze, I plan on setting up a commercial booth so the sober people going into the bars can check their guns before entering the bar for a fee. When they leave the bar, for another free, they can get their firearms and head on down the sidewalks, get in their cars, crawl down the gutters. Hey, the 2nd amendment protects them. What could go wrong?

Nope. They were within 1000 feet of a school. Therefore, they were illegal long before they entered the schoolyard. The same may be said for both parties on this shooting but it depends on where they were standing and at what distance. And it depends on if they were to push the actual law or not for the second shooter. I don't see them even looking at it though. Justice would not be served very well.

Now for the Florida Open Carry Law. If he was carrying it on his hip, he is going to jail. Since he had a legal firearm, he was a CCW and it wasn't visible until he pulled it.

In Florida, you can legally open carry a loaded firearm while engaged in, or going to and from, Fishing, Hunting, and Camping. With some planning and preparation, a law abiding person can open carry a firearm in public and stay in compliance with the law. But you must have a license even them to carry it.

Sounds to me that both weapons were legal. How the one was used is in question. Yes, we need more guns, don't we. Looks to me that your "Righteous Shooting" was the fact that there are just too many guns and one person decided to use his "Legal" gun to settle an argument. Maybe we should make sure all drunks are armed when they leave the Bars at 2 am as well.

It is against the law to even think about firing a gun into a crowd. It is called conspiracy to commit murder. It’s illegal to do that in every one of our States, and the words on paper have never stopped a single crime. It is against the law to fire your weapon into a crowd, and it has never stopped a single crime.

All the laws come into play after the fact. When the bleeding has stopped, usually by death, the laws come into play. The offender is charged with multiple counts of murder. If they know who the offender is. Laws are about how to deal with the event after.

If I have a gun, according to some, I’m part of the problem. Yet, it is odd isn’t it, that the only precaution that is somehow wrong, is the one involving the gun. If I have a first aid kit in my trunk, I’m cautious. If I have jumper cables, I’m prepared for the eventuality that my battery might be dead, or your battery. Bottled water and a blanket? Well that is good in case of some unfortunate event where I have to spend the night in the car until help comes.

A few days of supplies for a hurricane? Damned sure that is a good idea. In fact, that is one of those things that the Red Cross, and FEMA say I am supposed to have. Yet a gun is somehow wrong. The First Aid Kit is useful in trying to save a life or treat an injury after a shooting. But it doesn’t do much during the shooting to end it.

I don’t know if the responding shooter was in an argument. I don’t know how the whole thing went down. I do know that it is entirely possible that a mass shooting, a mass murder did not happen. Perhaps it never would have, only one or two might have been the target. But we may never know that for certain. What we do know is that it did not happen.

Every creature on earth has an instinctive desire to protect itself. Rabbits will kick and scream when the Fox or Coyote gets them. Chickens will squawk and kick and beat with their wings. A rat will fight when there is no other choice. Every creature big or small fights for their survival. Only humans believe that they can eliminate the need for this instinctive response. Deer kick out at Wolves and Bears that are chasing them. But humans act like we live in a sanctuary where no danger can come from any direction to threaten us.
