I ran over a dog once by accident, and it was a traumatic experience. The security guard did the right thing, and it is a good thing she was there. My problem is with her attitude after the fact. She talked about how the Holy Spirit helped her to kill the gunman. Next, she is running in front of every camera and t.v. show. She is not an innocent bystander with a gun; she is a professional who is into the martial arts. Yes, I am glad she was there, but even cops and soldiers have killer remorse. It is a natural grieving process when we have to take a life. She is all over the place. This is sort of like the story of the woman in Georgia who became a hero. We later found out that it was more to it than what she said. This is not the first time this woman used a gun but throwing the Spirit in the mix is more commerical worthy. The gunman had to be stopped, but at the end of the day she has to live with having to take a life. Having a background in counseling, something is missing.

It will hit her sooner or later even though she just wounded him and he took his own life to keep from being captured.
But her strong faith will see her through it fairly easy not like somone who doesn't have a strong faith. It probably will not be necessary because of that for her to have to have counselling to get through it.
Also depends on where she was raised as well. She might have been raised someplace where life it cheap also. Either that or has spent a lot of time someplace where life is cheap.

I don't know the woman, so I can't comment on her state of mind. How are we able to say she does not feel any remorse? I'm fairly certain she does, but she was not actually the one to kill the gunman, he took his own life. I was also not aware that she was appearing on tv shows. The comparison you make between running over a dog and shooting a man that has just killed two teenagers doesn't sit well either. As far as her background goes, apparently, she is a former police officer that was fired after an investigation by the department's IA. I'm not how she performed while she was working in law enforcement, but I believe, as others have stated, that she saved lives four days ago.

She did not kill him. She wounded him, but then he shot himself, and that was the fatal shot. It was in the news today, look up "colorado gunman autopsy"
Besides, if she did not fire on the gunman, it is very likely that more people would have died, and their blood would be on her. So it seems perfectly reasonable that the joy of ending the shooting spree overcomes the remorse over shooting a fellow human.
Your dog experience is not relevant here. A comparable case would be killing a dog that already ripped up one child, and was heading towards the playground. I bet you would be raving about how that breed of dog is a in-born killer, and people who breed them should be put to jail.

Her trauma is obvious...thats why she is all over the place.
Cops can react in the same way...turning to God to justify their actions.
Killing or even being involved with the death of another person is a stress that you can't even imagine.
