how do you know if an armed security guard can fire at another human being until it happens? All the training can take place but until you are there i assume you cannot tell how you will react when it comes to taking another one's life. I noticed the observer said the gunman fired off three rounds at her before she fired back too.

What's the point of an armed security guard who won't fire? That's why you need several. You never know who will fire. This was a major dispute coming out of WWII and continued in Korea. The Army worked very hard on getting it's men to actually fire in combat. Many will stand there, frozen. And die.
