I guess it depends on what was meant by reload.

If they meant he removed an empty magazine, stowed his weapon, opened a box of bullets, manually loaded 15 of them in the magazine, retrieved his weapon, inserted the magazine and manually worked the slide then I can understand your point. That takes a lot of time

If, on the other hand he ejected an empty magazine, inserted a loaded magazine and released the slide lock this can be done very quickly.

I have not read any reports on the number of magazines the shooter was carrying.

You did not mention how far these two students were from the gunman

Also there are reports the shooter had two handguns. While one was a 9mm the other was a .22 automatic. Both hurt.

So before I can judge these students, I would need a lot more information on the circumstances. Actually, even after getting a lot more information, I probably would not want to judge them.

I seriously doubt that these two students were standing right by the shooter while he was manually loading a magazine.

I am sure that there are a lot of people on the internet who would instantly disarm the shooter, braving certain death for the betterment of society, but the shooting did not take place on the internet. It was real life. and sadly in this case real death.

There are no saves nor reloads in real life. Nor can we alter the realism
All the murders 9mm clips(which can hold up to 19 rounds) were empty the 22 was empty...

They both told the officer they watched the murderer put bullets into the clip..........

as I said "Maybe 30 seconds"

not on the internet?? True many armchair quarterback would have done it different

but the game has been played and the score is still the same and it was real life

as far as judging some one goes far be it from me

Im just point to the fact 2 males watched and did nothing
