    I think it also misses a special case, where a active shooting would have happened, but a ‘good guy with a gun’ stopped it before a death toll occurred by either holding the shooter at gunpoint or shooting them.

    This would likely be a rare case that would be much harder to quantify but you know it will be argued it’s needed for that case.

      That is covered in this graphic as subdued by bystander, it’s a small amount and they include cases where people didn’t subdue with gun.

      They don’t stop a shorter before it happens. It’s not a scenario that exists. If you shoot someone before they draw their weapon to shoot, your the active shooter.
