Reply to comment by DeadSharkEyes in Man who disarmed Monterey Park shooter speaks out: 'Something came over me' by alanzhang34

He helps run the place with his family. He had something and someone to protect. Running would have left his family or friends to die while saving himself. Thankfully he did it right.

Yes. Very true. He didn’t know the guy just killed and injured 20 people. He’s probably still in shock at what he had done. And the fact that he didn’t shoot at the suspect. He shooed him away! The hero said he had never seen a real gun. Not sure I have either. Except maybe in a cops holster.

He said on the news he'd never held a gun so it might not have fired if he'd needed it too. The murderer was fiddling and cocking it repeatedly like he himself was having trouble chambering a round so it might not have been ready to fire. Thank goodness the murderer left and he didn't have to find out.
