Tragic.
Don't know yet if he was involved in the altercation that started the shooting or if he was a good samaritan attempting to break it up. Similar to the armed black bouncer who got shot and killed by police while holding the suspect at gunpoint.
Lesson is, if you use your gun and the cops arrive before you've had time to holster it, as soon as the cops arrive, put your gun down and your hands up.

The father of a black man killed by a police officer during an Alabama mall shooting says his son had a permit to carry a weapon for self-defense.
Emantic “EJ” Bradford Jr., 21, was fatally shot by a police officer responding to the Thanksgiving night shooting that wounded an 18-year-old and 12-year-old. Hoover police initially thought Bradford, who was carrying a handgun, was responsible. Authorities later said it was unlikely that Bradford had done the shooting.
