The opening scene of my book has a courtroom shooting. I researched the type of gun that could get through the security systems at StL courthouse, but need to know how a bailiff would react to seeing a suspect pulling a gun.
Would he guard the intended victim if that was evident? Would he pull a gun and shoot even if the room was full? Do bailiffs even carry concealed weapons? I was told a majority do, but I want to keep this as realistic as possible. Btw, the shooter gets away, and before you start going "uh, no way", this is an urban fantasy and the shooter is actually a demon in the MS's husband's body....does that make sense?
