Armed bystander stops mass shooting - FL

Happened Saturday, media not really talking about it. Doesn't fit the narrative I guess.

An armed bystander shot a man who opened fire at a Florida park filled with over 100 people -- including children -- for a Saturday back-to-school cookout, officials said.
The Titusville Police Department said in a news release the man was involved in a fistfight with another person at the Issac Campbell Park and left around 5:20 p.m. -- only to return with a gun minutes later and start shooting.
A bystander, who was lawfully licensed to carry a firearm, then shot the gunman.
“We are extremely grateful that nobody else was injured in this incident,” Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson said in a statement. “This suspect opened fire at a crowded public park. This could have been so much worse.”
The gunman, whose firearm was recovered at the scene, was airlifted to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. No one else was injured during the shootout.

Not what I would call a mass shooting.
Still happy to have a win for the good guys

That'll never make national news. Need more pics of the reporter.

BUT GUN CONTROL IS THE ANSWER!
David Hogg would be booked on every network in the country today had that guy not been there.

Probably has more to do with the fact that good stories don't sell ads, bad ones do.

i guess we can't call it a mass shooting if it was stopped right?
except for one man, this would be the top story in every newspaper, TV station and radio broadcast this morning.
David Hogg would be so busy he would forget to tweet nasty things to Trump.

Good samaritan needs to spend more time at the range.

Was the gunman just spraying into the crowd or was he coming back for the person with whom he fought?

let me save this thread
and HOLY CRAP the sound in that video..sounded like someone popped off about 15-20 rounds in 2 seconds.
if thats the good Samaritan and not the shooter then he's a REALLY bad shot.

The hero/bystander needs to spend more time at the range and less time picnicking. Thankfully he was at this picnic, though.
Seriously, good job by the bystander. To bad he didn't kill the sorry SOB though.

I wonder if the “bystander” was open carrying, or did he have a conceal carry permit?
