I heard this terrible report last night. I think most of us can agree it was unwise of the civilian hero to pick up the rifle. Was he perhaps concerned there was an accomplice? We’ll never know.
Thinking of myself in that position, perhaps putting my foot on the rifle and my hands clearly in the air until the police arrived....it’s the only thing I can think of that might be prudent in a situation such as this. And of course, pray a lot. What do you think? Thanks in advance

As the old saying really goes “never bring a pistol to a rifle fight”. This gentleman was lucky enough to win in that fight. Once you do, you have to go to the rifle, because there may be more bad guys, and you are clearly in a rifle fight.
I believe this hero did nothing wrong. The mere sight of the rifle is not justification for the outcome we have here.
Essentially, what we have here is a tragedy, but we must not forget that this was a hero killed by an agent of the state. We must change our views on arms in the public domain, or the 2A is doomed.
