Nightclub Diary ( Shooting at Breakfast Club )

Another shooting where I was working. I'm so tired of this.
What happened:
Two women were removed from the club, which lead to a fight at the front door. While fighting, the bouncers allowed a woman to pass into the club with a concealed handgun. She then shot a man in the head. He was brain dead instantly. He died the next day.

What we did right:
When a person is killed INSIDE the club, can we even talk about what security did RIGHT?

What we did wrong:
Some very basic mistakes lead to this tragedy.
1) There was no armed security outside that night.
2) An armed person taking advantage during a moment of distraction, like a fight, is not new. The bouncers at the door are very experienced and should have known that.
3) Which ever bouncer was assigned to watch the entry way, involved himself in the fight, and STOPPED watching the entry.

What we could do better:
Bad things can happen even under perfect circumstances. HOWEVER, that doesn't matter to the children of Dominic Nicholas Mahone, the 25 year old man who died inside the club that patted him down to make sure he was unarmed. His killer knew this.
