Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- Another legally armed person has stopped a potential mass shooting in Hamilton, Alabama on February 10th, 2016.
The shooting occurred in the morning, a little over an hour before noon, over a distance of a couple of blocks.
Two people, 67-year-old Donny Miller and 61-year-old Linda Cole were killed in separate offices. The second victim was shot in an accounting office close to the bank pictured above. A WVTM13 crew was on the scene less than two hours after the shooting. Here is video from Marlei Marinez, from WVTM13.

In the video, Marlei Martinez reports that she spoke with a man who was waiting in the accounting office to file his taxes. He heard the initial gunshots, then pursued the shooter, and took cover behind the bank pillars shown in the image above. He exchanged gunfire with the shooter. The legally armed man believed that he hit the suspect, Jimmy Cooper, twice. That is consistent with the reports that the suspect has gunshot wounds to the arm and leg.
