From **Bone** ’s Happy, Happy, Gun, Gun thread, > [@Positive Gun News of the Day](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/positive-gun-news-of-the-day/735490/1340): > > For those too busy to click links, the shooter injured two teenage girls and an adult. It was apparently random and the attacker was definitely mentally ill. The armed citizens who shot him had an easy job identifying him as he was carrying the weapon openly and had on eye and ear protection commonly used at gun ranges. Both of them went to vehicles to retrieve their firearms and went to confront the shooter. Reportedly, they first tried to convince him to drop his weapon before shooting him. Yeah, so the heroes did good, killing a crazy person with a gun. A _ **crazy person with a gun** _. No one seems to know how to fix that. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-gun-news-of-the-day-part-1/648729)._
