Real Assault rifle used by active shooter

I just saw a u-tube video by an 'officer Leroy Pyle' who stated there has not been a 'real' assault rifle (full auto) used in the US in recent times by an active shooter. He is wrong! April 93, Colorado Springs, CO the JIM&I'S' shooting. A murder used an illegally converted AK-47 (full auto) to kill two and wound five before I shot him and ended the shooting. Do any of you know of any others???

North Hollywood shootout in 1997.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Agreed. Thank you.
The problem here is we have allowed the terrorists to 'win' in that we are all obsessing about the 'terrorist threat' when the reality/probability of a citizen of the USA being a victim of an active shooter in there life time is so low it is laughable! The probability that a person being struck by lightning SEVERAL times in their life is higher. This is becasue we allow emotion to override reality. but that is how the media gets ratings $$$$$, and politicians get face time. [:(]

as an aside to this thread, hats off and a big salute to you, sir!
The point here is that all this talk about AW is BS, and this bandit was a convicted felon, had a DV convection, and in total violation of the NFA (1934). He was a person of very low income and had no connection to an 'organization' to assist him. So ALL those laws already on the books that were placed there 'to keep guns like this out of the hands of evil people'did ABSOLUTELY nothing to prevent this.[:(!] This is the kind of argument we need to use when discussing this problem. Now there are MANY closed-mined/prejudice people who will refuse to listen to fact, logic, and reality, BUT we must try and reach those who are 'setting on the fence' ASAP!
The two CA shoot outs were not active shooters. The intent of the criminals their was not body count it was robbery. If they had not been detected there would not have been a shoot out. I was referring to an active shooter who was intent on just killing as many people as they can for what ever reason.
