Texas 'licensed-to-carry' bystander shot El Paso mall shooter as he targeted more would-be victims: police
Texas police say that more legally armed citizens were in the mall when the shooting happened
The suspect, a 16-year-old Hispanic male, is accused of shooting the individuals after a "confrontation ensued" between two groups at Cielo Vista Mall on Wednesday evening at 5:05 p.m.

The El Paso Police Department said the confrontation eventually escalated into a "physical fight," and the 16-year-old pulled out a handgun, fatally shooting Angeles Zaragoza, 17, and injuring another 17-year-old and 15-year-old.

Police say that Emanuel Duran, 32, who is a licensed-to-carry holder, shot the suspect as he was pointing his gun toward the direction of more bystanders.

Also from the same article:

Investigators learned there were "at least" two more people who were legally armed, but weren't involved in the shooting.
