He may have been trying to prove a point, but with everyone on high alert, this could have ended much worse. You have an armed citizen who confronted him and held him until the police arrived. But what if that armed citizen wasn't so calm headed. What if that armed citizen said "nope not today" and just opened fire, fearing that there may be another mass shooting about to go down? I don't think anyone would blame the firefighter if he had opened fire, with all that has been going on. This man most likely was trying to prove some point, but this was not the way to do it. He was luck this time. The next person who tries this may not be so lucky.
The story I just read said that the armed, retired FF stopped the guy as he was exiting through an emergency door. Reasonable to assume that the FF was watching him not shoot anyone and didn't have an immediate reason to shoot the idiot as he was exiting the store.

I just assumed the firefighter had a concealed carry permit.
Retired FF with CC permit. Sorry, I lost the link.
