It is a horrible event, but it's a reminder that sometimes trouble does come looking for you. A recent Marine general gave his troops some interesting advice. "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
You never know what the other guy is thinking. If you are at least thinking about alternatives if something happens, you are money ahead. It's unfortunate that things can go that way, but it's reality.
ETA- that same general made another statement that's relevant to this discussion. "There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim."
He also made some very good observations about the islamic state.
