Taking a knife to a gun fight is stupid but this shopper did not even have a knife?? So what ever he was doing was beyond stupid to me, and he paid for that bad decision with his life.
So the shooting was started by the robber and that robbers deadly shooting was stopped by the CCL holder. Now maybe that robber would not have shot again, there is no way to know and apparently that CCL holder did not want to take that chance and find out by letting him go after watching the robber shoot and kill someone.

So, to answer "Stomachmonkey" question yes, I do think it was a poor decision and it was irresponsible of the robber to start a running gun fight. But he did pay for his bad decision with his life.
Not a video game, no reset.
The story on the website has been updated.

The robber that was running and firing was successful in getting away from the mall. He did hit a few people in the mall. He was captured, not far away, around midnight, after he fled from a car accident.

The robber who was shot was the one who killed the unarmed patron.
