I have strong a baseline reluctance to get involved in other people's problems, but there's also an argument to be made that a person rushing threateningly with a knife toward a group of people is everyone present's problem, or at least has a strong potential to be. With the sparse available information on this one, I'm not about to proclaim that the shooter's actions weren't those of a reasonable person, or that I wouldn't have taken similar action in his place. Here's hoping he got it right.
