RIP brother. LAWMANTUKES: That policy is in place for everyone's protection. Inside the federal courthouse there are several Deputy U.S. Marshals in place to deal with such a situation. It is the same as if you were in an airplane. Although you may be trained to deal with the situation, too many trained people trying to handle the same situation becomes what is known in the field as a CF factor. There is no such thing as friendly fire! This event, from what I understand, happened in the lobby of the federal building where the CSO's are stationed where any armed law enforcement officer would have been. It is very unfortunate that this Court Security Officer lost his life and a Deputy U.S. Marshal injured but it would be even worse if this person died as a result of several fellow officers attempting to engage the same threat.
