7. Your conclusion does not follow from the paragraphs you quoted

It's possible, but definitely not inferred by the text. Almost the opposite is inferred, ie: a citizen may have shot and injured one of the two bad guys. I hope not, because that is the last thing we need to make progress wrt guns, but hope does not change the text quoted above.
