We can assume he didn’t have peaceful intentions. It sure looks like he was going to shoot up the place but the fireman with a gun took him by surprise, he couldn’t raise his rifle without being shot first and he knew he was stuck. Hopefully we will learn about his motives. The story will likely disappear because it looks like a shooting was prevented by a concealed carry licensee.

The young dumbass had already left the store (without shooting anyone) when he was detained by the fireman.
Thankfully for most all of us, assumptions have little if any value in jurisprudence. Elsewise, anyone could assume anything about anyone ( if that what we want or what they want?).
Unless this guy actually broke a law by an act, he is innocent of anything. So far, I do not see any violation of MO firearms laws. Assuming he is not a prohibited person at this point.
Not to say the SPD chief ought to take him out back and whoop the living snot out of him anyways for being stupid.
I don’t think the guy had any intention of shooting anyone. He was exercising his right to open carry. Common sense of a jelly bean for sure, but I’d be willing to bet he had no intent to kill.
