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.

First of all, he said he "felt that they would have all been shot"... Not a stretch at all...
Maybe it's me, but if someone bursts in, fires a gun into the ceiling, I'm in fear for my life.
There is ZERO rational reason to do this. Any sensible person would see that as a threat...
But sure, let's go with the "I'll have a piece of pie" theory...
