Cop was a hero. While many run from trouble, the police run towards it.
A hero or just doing the job he signed on to do? I think that many throw that term 'hero' around a little too loosely.

Now if he had pulled a wounded civilian out of the line of fire from an active shooter, or shielded a child from getting shot . . . now THAT's the actions of a 'HERO'.

One way to look at it for a guy on a forum from his recliner.

I know this may not sound very tactically sound from the cop's POV (or safe?), but what if the officer had fired a few rounds into the air between bursts of shots fired by the perp to distract him and maybe stop him from shooting innocent people for a moment or two? Yes, it alerts the bad guy that someone else with a gun is coming, but he might panic and just go ahead and off himself if he thinks police are near and it may have at least saved a couple innocents from being shot. If nothing else it disrupts his OODA loop momentarily and maybe gets him off his game. Just trying to think outside the box...
