This was Texas. I would guess there several hundred guns in the shooting area (not counting police). So, why did none of these people use their lawful guns to stop these lawbreakers?

The media will put any wild ass guess on the air claiming an iron-clad source. It may be days, even weeks, before we get an accurate story. Anyone can post to Twitter and claim anything. A lot of people with a lot of guns in Texas.

People are hungry for news and frightened, and the media is perfectly willing to scare people with rumor, innuendo, and flat out fabrication.
