I have always believed this is a large part of the reason that many businesses post in the first place. I believe many of them, especially large businesses, are willing to accept financial loss of a robbery, as long as that is the extent of it. If they can get the robbers out of the store as quickly and as cleanly as possible, that is a much better outcome for them, even with a financial loss, rather than a Good Samaritan inadvertently making the situation worse in a way similar to what happened here today. Just my theory anyway.

Prayers for all the innocents involved.

And, while I can understand the concealed carry holder pulling and shooting, especially since the 1st guy had shot the Good Samaritan, it more than likely set the 2nd suspect to shooting as he ran out of the mall. Hopefully the three people injured by the 2nd guy will make full recoveries.

This is my local mall. Me and the family frequent it. Fortunately, today wasn't one of those days.
The mall is not posed and the wife and I always carry when going there. It's been slowly going down hill the past couple of years.
For the record, I would not have intervined unless my family was in danger.
