A very important lesson we should all take from this case is the *huge* advantage concealed carry has over armed criminals.
The criminal(s) was brandishing his gun, and likely ready to shoot, though his intention was to rob. However, he could not keep an eye on all the staff and all the customers at once. His attention was all over the place.
The concealed carry holder had focus. When the time is right, draw your weapon and put bullets in the criminal(s).
It really didn’t matter what anyone else in the place was doing. That focus is incredibly important.
It’s not really a fair fight. But then again, it shouldn’t be.

Scene video & interview with shooter -- BUMP!
WOW, great complete story. The concealed carry holder had tremendous presence of mind, and he spells it out in interview.
Btw, showing the violent intent, even with Dante dead on the floor, the OTHER perp is STILL gonna tussle for the gun -- ! [ "The video then shows Harrison trying to hold Craig at gunpoint. But Craig tries grabbing Harrison's gun and after a struggle Craig escapes."]
