Sanders and his contingent of police officers were up against a number of challenges when deciding tactics including poor visibility due to the sun and windows that had been “spidered” by gun shots, an unknown number of shooters inside the restaurant, and the unknown location and number of hostages.
Sanders considers the massacre one of the most challenging days of his career and one of the darkest in the history of San Diego. Despite that, many lessons were learned that changed the way police handle similar situations there and in departments nationwide.
