Police in El Paso, Texas say that a “licensed-to-carry” bystander shot the alleged gunman who is accused of killing one person and injuring another three.
The suspect, a 16-year-old Hispanic male, is accused of shooting the individuals after a “confrontation ensued” between two groups at Cielo Vista Mall on Wednesday evening at 5:05 p.m.
The El Paso Police Department said the confrontation eventually escalated into a “physical fight,” and the 16-year-old pulled out a handgun, fatally shooting Angeles Zaragoza, 17, and injuring another 17-year-old and 15-year-old.
Police say that Emanuel Duran, 32, who is a licensed-to-carry holder, shot the suspect as he was pointing his gun toward the direction of more bystanders.
Score another one for a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy before the cops get there.
This was a gang related shooting that was going to turn into a mass casualty event until a law abiding citizen stopped it.
Of course, this story isn’t being covered widely because it would destroy The Narrative.
But the evidence is clear, the cops are almost never around when the shit hits the fan and you are your own first line of defense.

As Officer Gregg says No one is coming. You are on your own.
I just re-read the article. I think that there were a few missed opportunities to include more “licensed-to-carry” in there. I counted 4 in a single page piece.
