He shot someone, so a crowd chased him. He was an active shooter at that point.

Do we want good guys to tackle armed gunmen involved in a shooting or not.

You can't play this good guy with a gun narrative then throw it out the window when there's an active shooter who will claim they were a victim. These people saw a man shoot another man, chased after him to disarm the situation. He then shot other people.

That's actually a really good point. There was one of those fabled "good guys with a gun" at that event. It was Gaige Grosskreutz. He responded to the active shooter and had the shooter in his sights, then froze. Fair play, it should be really hard to take a human life, so I definitely can't fault him for being unable to do so. He came to that realization at the absolute worst possible time though, right after having announced himself as a threat to the active shooter who had already proven that he was very willing to end a human life.
