A concealed carry permit holder successfully stopped a gunman who had begun firing into a crowd of people, saving countless lives. The incident happened in Syracuse, New York, on Tuesday at around 2:30 p.m.
The suspect, Demetrius Jackson, had opened fire on a group of people with a 9mm handgun. An armed man at the scene, who is a concealed carry permit holder, drew his firearm and shot the suspect in the head. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
"…District Attorney [William Fitzpatrick] said in a statement that based on preliminary investigation, it appears the man who shot Jackson saved the lives of several individuals."
No information has been released about the armed citizen, but police did mention that he has received threats and sustained property damage in retaliation as a result of the armed self-defense.
However, the SIMPs/Incels who run GunMemorial.Org list this death as "Loss Due To Gun Violence", along with his requisite "Innocent Victim" photo:
