Despite the chaos, Sheriff Mike Chitwood called the response to the crowds impressive.
“I was impressed at the way the officers, the deputies and the beach patrol all worked together to have a calming influence on what could have been a really chaotic incident. When you look back after the shooting occurred, not one business was broken into. There was no looting, there was no damage to personal property. Nobody was injured and all of the law enforcement folks involved went home safely.”
