The guy who ran into Applebees didn't shoot anyone IN Applebees. In fact - there's no way his aim could be THAT bad, that his shot would land - in the ceiling. So he must've intended to shoot into the ceiling.

That means - he was not shooting at people.

Therefore - "they all would have been shot" is - a really bad interpretation of the guy's motive. No one knows what WOULD have happened, if he wasn't shot dead. He might've put the gun down and broke down in sobs over whatever was going through his mind.

He might've just run back out again.

He might've shot himself.

He might've shot one person there.

He might've shot everyone there.

He might've just stood there, not shooting anyone, or crying, or anything else.

He might've sat down and ordered a piece of pie.

But none of the things he "might" have done, matter. He's dead, thanks to someone ELSE with a gun.
I would not believe any of this just yet. There is often a lot of nonsense posted or scuttlebutt about events like this online often by trolls who mean to stir things up.

There was no mention that the killed man had a gun of any kind in the news reports. Just that the man who shot him saw him reaching into his pocket.
