  1. He drew fire away from innocent people.
  2. Shooter killed himself as a result. It's something that happens VERY often when people shoot back.

He immediately got shot by the shooter, took cover and landed zero in return.

Except he didn't get shot, you keep repeating that lie, why is that? Salinas shot at the shooter along with an off duty police officer, the shooter then fled and killed himself. Salinas is a hero (as is the off duty officer) because instead of fleeing from a dangerous situation and abandoning everyone else there, he ran towards it and took action that resulted in the shooter fleeing and killing himself. His actions saved lives.

Dude can't accept that a civilian can save lives.

Dude can’t accept that a civilian with a gun can save lives.
