"Soft target" and "gun free zone" are two different things.
The fact is there ISNT ANY SCHOLARLY RESEARCH into this topic. Everything is partisan, and any attempt at funding independent research is cut off at the knees. In recent years there have been a few doctoral thesis done, but even in those there is no consistency in definition or scope.
Even within this thread, there is an impression the driver was unarmed. No evidence either way, but the knee jerk reaction is "every driver should carry", implying that if the driver had been armed, he would be alive. Again, no evidence either way. We don't have any information on motive or suspects either. I could say "this was a drug deal gone wrong" or "thug life is a short life" and make people prove me wrong.
This incident is a tragedy, but using it to make partisan arguments makes it a travesty.

And only fools would ask for proof that the target they picked was picked in part for its gun free/no or little possible resistance appeal.
