My wife brought the article to my attention and said "I bet you envy him."
Still cogitating on whether I do or not.

Simple reply. If I was the man getting attacked, would you envy him?

Inappropriate. While glad it ended this way, don't forget what the person that pulled the trigger is going to go through.

I don't believe charges were ever brought against the good samaritan.

Yet. When does personal jeopardy end? Is the family of the deceased going to sue this man? Another issue, how is he doing?

I know two people who had to use a weapon to defend themselves or a loved one from assault and harm. Both of the assailants were killed.

Neither of the two people feel the least bit remorseful about the attackers' fate, nor were they forced to spend much time in the legal system. They were defending themselves or a child.

Yes, legal issues always follow I suppose. Not being there I can't comment on possible senerios, but I'm guessing there wasn't any good outcome except the perpetrator was stopped. The guy was most likely a nut case. Unfortunately he got his hand on an axe. If he would have been just flailing his arms around he could have been jumped and subdued. The store security cameras probably told the cops what they needed to know and hopefully eliminated any chance of relatives of the nutcase to come after anyone, legally anyway.
