Speculation

Yeah, that is clearly a sensationalist take on something that took less than 3 speculated seconds, the man had a bullet with his name on it, nothing that the security guards could predict would have helped against someone so focused on it, and with the element of surprise to his advantage.

Good sources, plenty of experts willing to weigh in and give their security companies more airtime, but did give detailed opinions on the matter. Just disappointed there's no investigative push from the article to ask why security guards "hoisted a slim black bag." When looking at the footage, the question popped in my head. Was that an undercover tactical device? I guess all the security secrets can't be told to the wider public.
