You can spin it however you want, but a security guard ex-cop with no CCW wouldn't of done jack shit. This same lady in a 'gun free' zone would of been another helpless bystander.
Apparently, "spin" is in the eyes of the beholder. Using an ex-cop assigned to specifically watch for this scenario after a similar incident a few miles away to make a case for CCW, seems pretty far fetched to me.

"Gun free zone" applies to random CCW, not police or private security. For what it's worth, the church in question is marked as a gun free zone. Obviously, private (volunteer) security was able to function.
