that said guns were not allowed in bars? The guy who saved the day in this incident would probably have obeyed the law and the result might well have been a bunch of innocent people injured or killed. People who legally carry concealed usually obey the law.

When Jones entered the business, some witnesses told police, he started yelling incoherently while standing at the bar.

"People didn't know who he was yelling at," Cook said.

Perez was trying to talk to Jones when he was fatally shot. Police do not believe they knew each other.

The shooter wasn't sitting around the bar for a couple of hours getting plastered before he ran amok. He just walked in, blew up and started shooting.
