If you are talking about the two shot, I don't believe there was any way. They seem to have been ambushed from a distance, snuck up on, preoccupied with their job of live TV, and I don't think there is anything they could have done.. I don't even think they would have had time to draw their own weapons and defend themselves, if they had CCW. And I'm a pro-CCW advocate.
However, yes, situational awareness is key. Also, to always leave yourself an out of anywhere you go into. Absolutely.
This seems a disgruntled local, maybe someone with an axe to grind with one of them, but, definitely homegrown and lone wolf. I don't even think it's a terror attack. Seems like a regular murder.
Saw the video on AOL.
