Was this the appropriate thing for the 2 by-standers to do, and would you do the same thing? How did they determine immediately that the person was the shooter, and what if one or more of the shots fired by the by-standers had ricocheted and hit someone else?

I always Carry whenever out shopping or eating out but always wonder just what I would do in a case where I wasn't directly threatened but others were.
