Hey, waitaminute!...

You know how this could have been prevented?

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — A one-time Army paratrooper was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday for killing a fellow soldier and wounding nearly 20 others in a sniper attack at a North Carolina base more than a decade ago.

Kreutzer's victims were preparing for a morning run on Oct. 27, 1995, at the massive Army base in eastern North Carolina when he opened fire with a rifle from a concealed position.
He hit and wounded 16 soldiers from the division's 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment as they left an athletic field. He also shot three other soldiers who tried to stop him, wounding two and killing Maj. Stephen Badger.

If only the police and the military had guns! Oh...wait...
