Property is insured. Consider being a good witness.
The answer is obvious>>>>don't get into a shoot out with couple of robbers.
I have a hard time believing it wouldn't be over before the police actually arrive, but if they do arrive, I do know who the good guys are and will quickly disarm myself.What's more, if they've been dispatched to an "active shooter" incident, they're likely to fire on you without warning!
I haven't heard if the mall was one that refused patrons to carry concealed, I hope not. That would give the anti 2A crowd an excuse to blame guns. Being that this happened in Texas I doubt if there were restrictions.
Mall Management- "Although we respect the laws of the state and individual rights, we do, however, maintain a separate code of conduct that we visibly post at our entrances that includes the prohibition of any weapons on the property. Our top priority continues to be the safety of our shoppers as we strive to provide the best possible shopping experience for all,”
The man who was killed (Murphy) was unarmed from all the stories I've seen. He resisted and was shot and killed by the armed robbers and then the guy with the CHL shot and wounded one of the robbers.Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? Would he still be alive if he wasn't carrying there? Discretion is the better part of valor, in this one.Tragic.
Reminds me of the Joseph Wilcox story in some ways.
The man who was fatally shot while trying to stop a robbery at a San Antonio mall has been identified as 42-year-old Jonathan Murphy. Authorities arrested two people in connection with the deadly robbery Sunday afternoon at the Rolling Oaks Mall in San Antonio.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said during a news conference that two men robbed the Kay Jewelers at the mall about 3:30 p.m. Murphy, who was unarmed, attempted to stop the robbers from fleeing and was shot dead, McManus said. The chief called him a good Samaritan.
He had gone to the jewelry store with his wife, Aimee, to get their wedding rings cleaned, according to a GoFundMe page for his family.

Police said another man at the mall, who was legally carrying a concealed gun, shot and wounded the robber who killed Murphy. The injured robber was taken to an area hospital and is in critical condition. His name has not been released.
The second robber ran off, firing his gun and injuring a man and woman, McManus said. He was arrested Sunday night and identified as 35-year-old Jason Matthew Prieto
Hard to know why he did what he did until we know what happened inside the store.Wow, I didn't realize that he was unarmed. That makes him intervening even more puzzling to me.
