So is this the first time an active shooter asshole was taken out via bomb?

I will say, pretty slick trick to use the bomb detonating robot as a mobile bomb unit...

Good job killing the prick using it. I imagine they have video as it rolled up close to the asshole.

Query as to where they got the bomb though--not exactly standard police issue.

According to a thread posted Friday. A white shooter with AR and bombs. Used a similar remote bomb detonation.

nice way to neutralize the threat while minimizing the risk of additional loss of innocent life

Take an old beat up bomb disposal drone that is beyond fixing, strap a bomb to it and send it in.
