Reading the story A Murder in Vail

When reading the story A Murder in Vail, it was very shocking. The way the man just walked into a bar and unleashed his gun among harmless innocent strangers is crazy. The story was written so smoothly and it flows but still keeps the reader interested. When the man was laying on the ground after shooting 2 random men that happened to be in the wrong spot at the wrong time, it is interesting that no one would try to stop him. This man is old, and is sitting on the floor against a wall, and as he goes to a laying down position someone should have tried to grab him. Also what is pretty concerning about the story is how long it took the police to respond to the scene. According to the story it took the first police man 29 minutes to arrive and address the scene, that is a very long time for someone to be in charge of a powerful weapon against many innocent people. To question if the gun was real, instead of just sending out the police with hope to stop the madness should have been easily the first step. This story is hard to imagine and very upsetting that people were just going about their normal day, and this town known man has to ruin his life after "trying so long not to do it."
