Such is not the case here. Video shows there were many people on the streets at the time and the shooter was aiming at killing a specific person. This wasn't an attempt at mass mayhem.

    So the police should only act if it's a targeted attack? Against a wealthy individual? Hopefully you don't get a canker sore polishing those boots.
