Stupid tragic stuff. Life is precious and this guy who probably thought in his head he was doing the right thing lost his life in matter of few minutes leaving three children fatherless and a WB wife. His decision might have been more than just white knighting as he probably decided he has to stop an armed shooter but these actions normally do not end well as how they do in movies.Unfortunately his action though in a way courageous was brash and reckless.If he just didn't try to play superman, then not only a loss of life could be avoided but also the shooter's life would have had a chance to be not wasted away as it will now when he gets charged with murder.

Moreover, at the end the article reports similar gun killing incidents and forms a narrative how such incidents have increased while gun carrying permits have also increased. Some of the incidents reflect the same stupidity and split second decisions as this incident. It just shows its not the guns but it's the people bearing them that cause all this. A man should always have the right to bear arms but he should also not be heedless.

You know that idiot fucked himself up with kipping pullups, what with his brain being rammed forward and back.
Stupid, stupid. Leaving 3 kids without a father.

Edit: Maybe that was a little too harsh, but still a huge waste.
 
I found it painfully imagining just being shot in the head . and after his gun was slapped out of his hand? I just don't get what he was trying to accomplish by taking this unrelated matter into his own hands. It says alot already that he shot his girl in the foot (its not fatal in any way) just to teach her a lesson, so he himself was crazy and I think he tried to give that guy a chance given that he was close enough to get his gun knocked out of his hands and shot in the head.

Its tough and I wish their family well and sorry for their loss

I wasn't there, so I won't judge. But me being me there's no way in Hell I'm losing a gun fight when I'm already holding a gun. And I've seen that you've already shot someone. This guy was a Marine, but I'm willing to bet he wasn't a 0311 (Infantry). RIP Devil Dog.

Do you think his last words were "I just want to say, I do crossfit"?

Forgot the last part where he says,"so you better watch out mother fucker."

On a serious note, it is generally a tragedy when someone dies and in this case some children will be left without a father. So three more children that may grow up with emotional issues. That is a shame. And I bet this do gooder was a loving father who cared about his kids. :(

I don't hold it so much against this guy that he white knighted, but that he approached an active, armed and obviously hostile person at point blank range. WTF??? As an ex-Marine and a concealed carry holder, surely you're supposed to know better.

Ex-Marine, crossfitter, crossfit gym owner. His ego wasn't doing him any favors.

It wouldn't surprise me if he had been a commissioned officer in the Marines. Lots of military officers (and non-commissioned officers) start believing that they carry more authority, exude more leadership than they actually have. Whereas their subordinate soldiers follow them only because they have to, and not at all out of conviction. So Captain W. Knight marches right up to an armed, violently dangerous man who has just hurt someone and expects that guy to stop, surrender, and do as he's told because Special Snowflake, Leader of Men Edition told him to. Yeah....about that.

My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. I don't mean to talk shit. I just wish he had the sense to mind his business and not get involved in a violent scenario he did not have to directly get involved in.

When I read this, you made me remember this scene.
