I was a babe in arms when it happened, but I thought it was a noncontroversial statement that the 911 dispatchers accidentally coded the "man with a gun" calls as low-priority calls (notwithstanding multiple identical reports in that case?), meaning the SFPD didn't get upstairs until after Ferri had begun shooting and people were already dying. In fact, I think the result of the investigation was SF spending recockulous amounts of dough to modernize 911. But I'm prepared to be wrong about that; S.F. was a distant metropolis to young Atticus Grinch when that shit went down.
I remember thinking that spending money to modernize 911 wouldn't have changed the particular code error, but whatever. It was a shitty situation all around. A nutjob with a gun can change a lot of lives before the SHFM posse comitatus can take him down.

I wasn't living in the city at that time. Did he get the gun lawfully?
