Not well publicized but the initial effective contact with the Tower shooter was civilians who brought their hunting rifles and either engaged or lent their rifles to hand gun carrying LEO.
These "civilians" and their personal rifles reduced mortality and morbidity rates. The three responding officers encountered a 4th person a civilian "already inside the tower" ready to engage the shooter... He is one of the responders awarded a memorial plaque.

Now to observe the effort to restrict "legal carry" for those who are not a threat, quite the contrary but then that's none of my business...

Approximately 20 minutes after first shooting from the observation deck, Whitman began to encounter return fire from both the police and armed civilians.
