Just a sad story that might have ended worse if the employee had not been armed.
Would have ended a lot better if bad guy with gun didn't have a gun in the first place.
Everyone would still be alive and it would just be a story about an argument in an IHOP.
I suppose the NRA looks at this as a positive, after all a bad guy got shot down. I look at as a failure. An IHOP was terrorized with a gun battle, two people are dead and another in the hospital, all due to prevalence and encouragement to carry handguns.

Bad guys have carried guns since the old west. Good guys need to protect themselves.
Bad guys are going to get guns by hook or by crook...it's a great thing this hero was carrying. Very sad that he lost his father.
Very sad that anyone was shot.
Anyone can get a gun by hook or crook, good or bad.
What makes you think that the 'good guy' was a 'good guy'?
He's a hero because he shot someone?
You can come up with all the imaginary scenarios you want.
Bad guys get guns... good guys get guns...bad guys shoot good guys... good guys shoot bad guys.
At the end of the day three people were shot and the best case scenario would have been that nobody had a gun in the first place.

It's incredible you really think that. You are not in touch with reality if you think you can keep guns out of the hands of bad guys.
Ridiculous. Whatever happened to logic?
Since the bad guy did indeed have gun (surprise!), the good guy with a gun saved numerous lives. Maybe dozens. The people who cannot see that have purposely blinded themselves to reality.

Ask the diners and employees if the young man who killed the animal is a hero...I wonder what they'd say?

What's so incredible about it?
How do you know the good guy saved numerous lives?
How do you know what was going to happen next?
You don't. You're just imagining what might have happened.
Other countries are perfectly able to get by without multiple gun deaths every 5 minutes. Imagine that!
Police say it stared [sic]when 25-year-old Roderick Turner went to IHOP to pick up a carryout order. He reportedly became disruptive and loud regarding the service, which lead to a verbal then physical altercation with another IHOP employee. Turner then pulled out a handgun and started firing at employees, striking two employees.
All that over a stack of pancakes? IHOP isn't that good.
