The suspected shooter and at least one attendee are dead.
Edit: The FBI has identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
My half assed guess is when this guy pointed the suspect out the SS started inquiring about any local police being stationed there. It takes time. In the meanwhile since he was an unknown he was scoped up by a sniper, which in turn is why they ended up very dead very quickly. Realistically it’s the best you can do until you confirm unknown/hostile or they could be shooting friendlies.
That someone else died and others were wounded absolutely is the worst. But the other option is shoot people first ask questions later which no one wants. It’s the reality of protecting the public from the government that there are times when the bad guys get the “win” of committing their atrocities
