(3,282 posts)7. If anyone ever finds
themselves in a situation like that, one where there is an armed person and you are trying to stop them from shooting. Remember that the goal isn't to just knock them down or hit them with something. It's to control the weapon. If you can keep the muzzle facing in a safe direction the person can't shoot you or anyone else.
In the first picture the shooter was on his side and the gun was facing down and away from him while Huber was in good position. His mistake was trying to hit him with the skateboard instead of just diving on the gun.

That's so sad and senseless. All he had was a skateboard; he was no real threat. smh
