Just this week, a "25" year-old female, Jeanne Assam, took down the
shooter at New Life Church in Colorado Springs.

Assam had prior police training, true, but she was NOT a police
officer at the time of the shooting, was not employed by the church
(she was a volunteer member of the security contingent), and she used
her personally-owned weapon.

I understand she was working as a security guard at the time, which
only supports my point. She should not be considered a civilian.

Why not? She is a civilian in every sense of the word since she isn't a
police officer. Even more so she was a volunteer who happened to be on
site with her own personal weapon.
