Oklahoma [USA], May 25 (ANI): An armed citizen killed a shooter at a restaurant in Oklahoma City in the United States on Thursday (local time).
As reported by the CNN, a man walked into Louie's Grill & Bar restaurant and opened fire which struck two people.
As the accused tried escaping from the location, a bystander who was armed with a weapon shot dead the accused.
As per Oklahoma City Police Captain Bo Mathews, the bystander's step is considered to be a defensive action to avoid any further ruckus by the shooter.
