Re: "Nobody has ever stopped a mass-shooter..."
Honestly, I think we're sort of digging in the semantic woodwork here. IMHO, it would come down to the difference between "prevent" and "stop." The examples use "stop" to mean "prevent," but those are two different concepts. "Stop" means to stop something that's already moving. So a shooter is killing people - 4, 5, 6, 7.... and then is "stopped" by a good guy with a gun. So there you have it: you stopped a mass shooting.
