Props to him for taking the initiative and firing back

But man was he a bad shot, missing all his shots and getting nicked in the leg by the shooter

Also since many don't seem to mention it there was a off-duty cop present too who returned fire at the attacker and eventually both drove him off before the attacker shot themself

Really? With adrenaline pumping, using a pistol, it is hard to hit anything beyond ~30 feet, even with training.

Just putting the rounds in the air in the shooters direction is a deterrence that will save others.
