The owner pulled his pistol but by that time an old lady thwarted the shooter with her bare hands. The crowd convinced the gun owner to holster his fire arm to avoid police confusing him as the shooter.

Just what is needed a bunch of movie going self deluded armed amateurs. Now that I have to use a cane I would be willing to help out and I have been trained, I guarantee bystanders will not be shot by my cane.
