It usually takes police more time to respond to attacks on soft targets. Sutherland Springs is a small town with minimal police presence. Places like Washington, D.C. have a strong security presence, making a mass shooting less likely.

Major cities are constantly looking for ways to make it safer for pedestrians while criminals are shifting their focus to easier targets. It took multiple airplanes and years of planning for terrorists to carry out the 9/11 attacks. Since then, criminals are less patient and crave instant results.
i don’t understand trump’s logic on how this shooting, where someone used a gun, wasn’t a gun issue. #texasshooting— sircorgi (@sircorgii) November 6, 2017
How does a person that is not radicalized do something this evil? Devin Patrick Kelley was wearing all black and carry a military assault rifle. If local resident, Stephen Willeford, wouldn’t have shot him, Kelley may have murdered more people.
While places like agency headquarters and monuments are safe, Devin Kelly had numerous soft targets to pick from. Bars, schools and churches are vulnerable soft targets that must be secured. Mass shootings are becoming a regular news story as innocent people continue to be murdered.
