Having finally read the article I have a couple of questions.
First off, who knew the bad guy had a vest on. Had he not, the hits by Mr. Wilson might of ended the hostility. When I went thru CCW class they preached many times "Two to the COM and 1 to the head". I practice that all the time just in case the bad guy does have on body armor.
Second, if I hear someone outside of my house shooting and see he has a rifle, I'm not only gonna grab my pistol but a rifle as well. No sense taking on a bad guy who has a rifle with a pistol, right?
Overall, its sad to see the good guy lose his life in an attempt to save others. A true hero in my eyes. God bless you Mr. Wilson.
