I'm glad that this turned out as well as it did. While trying to understand what happened, based on this report, it had the potential to go several different ways.
1. The BG had already discharged his gun into the floor so unless he was out of ammo or had a gun malfunction afterwards, he had a "hot" weapon in his hands. He could just as easily raised it and shot back torward the GG or the kids or both while the "clip" was being emptied in his direction.
2. I've read that BGs are often cowards and the 2nd BG taking off when the GG opened fire in this reinforced that that point. The thing that I'm most worried about if I faced a similar situation is getting tunnel vision and focusing only on the BG in front of me while the 2nd BG opens fire on me. Training to "share" my magazine among multiple BGs seems to be one of the more difficult scenarios handle. I would love to hear from the GG if he even recognized that the 2nd BG was in full retreat while he was handling the first BG.
3. The report said that there were two armed customers. There was no mention of the 2nd GG getting involved. I can only guess that the GG who did the shooting had either better situational awareness or better reaction time than his buddy.
