The shooter fired into the restaurant and ran out, where he was ordered to put down his weapon, but instead tried to shoot the other two who had armed themselves and saw him come out of the restaurant holding a gun.
Now ask a relevant question, like what would you do if you had heard shots while you are in the parking lot, and a person came out of the restaurant and aimed a gun at you? You are LEO trained.

Devil's advocate: You hear shot fired, no idea what it is about. You are in civis, man runs out of the bldg, carrying a gun & you challenge him to stop. He attempts to defend himself & you shoot & kill him.
The man had just defended himself against two armed robbers inside & has come outside to wait for police & still carrying his gun. Another guy points a gun at him & he feels the threat is still there. You can see what I mean by you rarely know 100% of the time what you see is what is happening, especially if you are not a direct victim of the attack. CCW, no uni or even badge as good guy ID, you run the risk of being a target or shooting an innocent.
I am glad the outcome in OK was positive but it could just as easily gone sideways too.
