If it's true, they should prosecute the Marine posthumously for some violation of UCMJ. /sarcasm

If Glock was there and didn't kill the shooter this will be used to say "see a CCW or weapon at the scene of the shooting doesn't make a difference" "this was a trained professional and he couldn't stop the shooter so how can a citizen CCW'er possibly make any difference?"

Wish the Marines did have guns and did return fire and did kill the bastard.

HTC?
The primary compound for the unit. Most reserve centers are part of a larger joint complex. The individual units normally have another fenced area segregating them from the larger base. Oftentimes parking is outside the  fenced compound. HTC = Home Training Center. We always just call it the HTC.

I wouldn't doubt he may have hesitated due to a fear of "getting in trouble" for having an unauthorized POW in the office.

If true, too bad the marine wasn't able to cap the guy.

The shooter went back outside of the building, ran into woods next to the Navy Reserve building and had a shoot out with the police.  A good sign the Marine didn't cap the guy, just wounded him at best.

Still, I'll bet that having rounds returned on him convinced the shooter to leave the building instead of going through all the offices and shooting everyone in the building.

DERP. The autopsy is a matter of public record / will be a matter of public record. Even if the Jihadist was only wounded by 9mm and eventually KIA by 45 or 556 its still a win for troops carrying for self defense.

And then there are people like you that despise the fact an LEO may have actually done something brave or heroic.

Fox news has this now.  They're saying that a Navy officer, LCDR White, also fired back with his personal sidearm.

The Marine definitely returned fire, if the Glock was his.  The Glock had been fired.

Fox news report

It is against Defense Department policy for anyone but military police or law enforcement to carry weapons on federal property. It was not immediately clear whether White would face disciplinary action.

The posters saying the investigators don't know what they are about are all wet. They know exactly what

they are doing. Figuring out a way to spin this in the most politically expedient fashion possible.

It is not Lt. White, it is Lt. Commander White.  Big difference.  Lt. Commander White was the C.O. of the Naval Operations Support Center, and used his personal firearm to engage the attacker.  The Devil Dog also engaged the shooter and died fighting.  

God Bless both of them!  

A CO that says "Fuck the rules, I will defend my people!" is my kind of CO.  Make him an Admiral.
