A man armed with a .45-caliber handgun and a lot of ammunition wandered onto an auto repair shop property and began firing in the parking lot Friday afternoon, police said.
The gunman killed one employee and paralyzed a second. That’s when the employees at Schlenker Automotive fought back with equal force, Rockledge police chief Joseph La Sata said.
“The manager, who was a concealed weapons permit holder, came out and engaged in gunfire in the parking lot,” La Sata said. “The manager fled back inside the building, being chased by the gunman. Another Schlenker employee, who also had concealed weapons permit, engaged in gunfire with the suspect.
The suspect was shot twice and effectively neutralized. He was taken to the hospital under police watch. His condition is critical.
You won’t hear about this in the headlines because it doesn’t have any meaning to mainstream news if not a lot of people die. The better story here, of course, is the fact that we have a mass shooting attempt that was successfully stopped by multiple armed citizens.
Kudos to the Manager and the employee.
Rest the lost soul and speedy recoveries to the paralyzed employee.
Sadly, this happened on the 26th, and it's been dang near silent on the national level.
