Here is a decent overview of the strategies and tactics used by the CHL holder, Mark Wilson to confront an AK47 and body-armor wearing assailant during the recent shootings in Tyler, TX:

Apparently the shooter had positioned himself between local law enforcement vehicles and the courthouse. Law enforcement had long guns; but was unable to access them due to the shooter's position and were forced to confront him with sidearms until after the shooter attempted to leave the scene in his truck.

He saw another man with a gun, later identified as Mark Wilson, a former shooting range owner, hiding behind the gunman's parked truck.
"The shooter couldn't see him, but I could see both of them," Wilbanks said. "When the shooter stopped to reload, the guy behind the pickup came up and fired."
Wilbanks said he thought to himself, "I hope he is accurate."
"He hit him twice, he hit him bad, but he didn't kill him," he said.
The gunman, David Arroyo, was wearing body armor.
Wilbanks saw Arroyo turn around and fire at Wilson. Then the shooter got in his truck to leave.
