That Fox report is the only thing you'll read about it.  It doesn't fit the narrative.  Even Fox won't likely publish a followup, but they get points for breaking the story.

Edit: Washington Times also posted about it. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/24/louies-grill-bar-oklahoma-city-armed-citizen-fatal

CNN had a brief article about it.

Report I saw said the CCW engaged the shooter as he (the shooter) left the building, so (like the church shooting in Texas), the usual suspects will proclaim that this wasn't a case where a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun, because the attack was already over.

They'll probably want the CCW charged with murder ...

Capt. Mathews says when the suspect exited the restaurant, he was confronted by a citizen who took out his own firearm, shooting and killing the suspect.

I'm going to predict this was some kind of "domestic" issue.
And this being Oklahoma, I would be absolutely gob smacked if any kind of charges are brought against the armed citizen that took out the bad guy.

The extremely short USA Today story I saw basically said, "The private citizen shot the gunman after he left the building. The end." To me, it almost came off like the good guy was the criminal.

And now we have a shooting in an Indiana middle school. Two wounded, one injured, nobody killed. Suspect(s) in custody.

The shooter was taken down by an unarmed teacher -- who is one of the wounded.

So does that make 47,512 school shootings this year?

My local news is saying that the shooter was a licensed security guard and that he was wearing protective gear.

Which shooter?  Good guy or dead guy?

Dead guy, and he was wearing eyes and ears. Safety first!
