From your earlier post which referenced the "Skyway Shooter"

andIt was his bad luck that Fletcher, the son of a former Seattle police officer, was using the bank’s ATM at the time. Fletcher heard the shots, went around the corner of the building to investigate, saw Warren rushing toward him and he drew his own gun. Breazeale was hit four times, but the wounds were not life threatening, the charging documents say.
Fletcher handcuffed Warren, who had, according to police and independent sources, soiled his trousers in the process.
In that case, Raven Smith is lucky to have been armed with a .380-caliber semi-auto that he used to shoot 17-year-old Anthony Hauser four times. Hauser, who was wearing a ski mask, allegedly charged at Lesley Tanner after she and Smith got out of his car to dine at the restaurant.
"I just knew I had to act; I had to stop this guy."—Raven Smith, St. Petersburg, FL
According to the published report, Smith told Tanner to “get down” and quickly opened fire. He hit Hauser with every shot, and when the teen dropped to the ground, he begged Smith to stop shooting, claiming that his gun was a fake.
Hauser’s credibility evaporated, however, when it turned out that his gun was the real thing, a .25-caliber semi-auto that was loaded.
Hauser, like Warren, faces charges.
No such bad luck will befall either Fletcher or Smith, who properly used their guns to thwart crime; just the sort of people that gun prohibitionists probably consider “extremists.”
