Yeah, that was 100% the way to handle it. Just have some people have minor bullet wounds, but NO ONE is shot by a guy opening fire in the middle of a place of business with a machine gun?!

There have been times where a shooter has come into a place of business, shot randomly, and only managed to hurt people (there was an incident in the town where I live where this happened in a restaurant).

It might come across as a bit of an A-Team solution to violence, but it would still be more realistic than zero casualties.
