Pearce apologizes for post on shooting
A former Arizona legislator is apologizing for saying somebody in the Aurora, Colo., theater should been armed and prepared to stop the shooter.
Former state Sen. Russell Pearce said Friday on Facebook the shooting was heartbreaking and that lives were lost because nobody acted to stop the shooting that left 12 people dead and dozens wounded.
Mischaracterization is in the eye of the beholder
Pearce took to Facebook on Sunday to defend an earlier post on the Colorado movie theater massacre, saying the Republic “mischaracterized” comments he made last week in which he said the gunman could have been stopped if people would have been “prepared and armed.”
