I am sure many of you have heard the news story in which a man stabbed eight coworkers in a supermarket.
What I am not sure about is "which" ending you have heard from your particular news source.
Here is one ending:
...Ingram, chasing one victim into the store's parking lot, was subdued by Chris Cope, manager of a financial services office in the same small shopping center, Memphis Police Sgt. Vince Higgins said.
Cope said he grabbed a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from his pickup truck when he saw the attacker chasing the victim "like something in a serial killer movie."
"When he turned around and saw my pistol, he threw the knife away, put his hands up and got on the ground," Cope told The Associated Press. "He saw my gun and that was pretty much it."
Higgins said police were pulling into the parking lot as Cope was confronting Ingram.
"We commend him," Higgins said. "But we don't encourage people to take that kind of risk. He could have been hurt."

Okay, here is the USA Today's version:
The suspect was tackled by a witness as he tried to run from the building and was held until officers arrived, (Memphis Police Sgt. Vince) Higgins said.

Besides the fact Sgt. Higgins is more concerned that the guy with the 9mm might be in more danger than the unarmed person being chased in parking lot , why do you suppose we have two different happy endings?
I have checked many other news sources, and they are split on which version they use.
