2: The law abiding citizen is now in Jackson Memorial with multiple gun shot wounds and could still succomb to the myriad infections and complications arising from being shot and just being in a hospital.

3: The story says nothing about anyone's life being directly threatened. The gunman wanted money. He didn't grab anyone, use them as collateral or in other direct manner threaten any life. I would think in hindsight, the law abiding citizen should have maintained a low-profile, be a good observer, get a good description as they could of the perp and assist law enforcement with all of that info.

Food for thought for you all, I hope.
