2 civilians rushed to their cars to get their guns before fatally shooting Oklahoma City restaurant gunman
Not one, but two men ran to their respective cars to grab their guns when a shooter opened fire at an Oklahoma City restaurant Thursday.
Police Capt. Bo Matthews said today that both of those men shot suspect Alexander C. Tilghman on Thursday. Tilghman died as a result of those gunshots.
The two civilians have been identified by police as Juan Carlos Nazario, 35, and Bryan Whittle, 39.
"You are welcome," Nazario said to local ABC affiliate KOCO after the shooting. "Just did what was trained to do to neutralize the situation."
Whittle’s family told ABC News that he served in Afghanistan and has been in the National Guard for almost 20 years.
Before being killed by the two civilians, Tilghman fired shots into Louie's Grill & Bar near Lake Hefner on Thursday. He shot three people, all of whom are expected to survive, Matthews said.
Immediately after the shooting, Matthews told the media that a single civilian shot the suspect, but upon further investigation, it was determined that two men both shot the suspect. The two men who shot Tilghman "were not carrying their firearms on them, they [their firearms] were in their vehicles," Matthews said today.
When asked what he would call Nazario and Whittle, Matthew described them as "two people that stopped a very tragic situation from going any further."
During the news conference today, Matthews wouldn't directly call them "heroes" but said that it was "a great terminology" for the media to use.
"You can say they're heroes, which is a very good thing to say," Matthews said.
Nazario and Whittle did not know one another and had arrived at the restaurant separately, he said.
Matthews said that because the men were not carrying their weapons on them, conceal carry laws would not be applicable in the case. He did not disclose any information about whether or not they had such licenses, and said that it would be up to the district attorney to decide if they face any charges for their actions, but hinted that he does not expect a case to be brought against them.
"These guys were protecting somebody else's life. I would think more than likely they would not be filed on," Matthews said.

Tilghman, 28, was reportedly wearing shooting glasses and earmuffs commonly seen at gun ranges, Matthews said.
"It looks like his mind was made up that he was going to [use] his firearm when he got there," Matthews said.
Matthews said the police "have no records of anybody making any other reports" on Tilghman in their system, though he did have a record of a 2003 arrest for domestic assault and battery from when he was 13 years old.
Matthews said that police have not found any record of Tilghman having mental health issues, though said that if someone is to commit "an act like this, you'd have to assume that he probably had a little bit of mental illness."
Tilghman fired "from the outside of the door into the restaurant," Matthews said, adding "to me, it looks like a random event."
"It could have been really tragic. Again, we're really blessed that only three people were shot and didn't lose their lives," Matthews said of the victims.
The National Rifle Association tweeted about the shooting on Thursday, touting it as an example of the idea that “the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” an idea disputed by experts.
The gun rights group also used their tweet to send a message to Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, who vetoed a bill that would have eliminated the requirement for people to have completed a firearms training course in order to carry guns in public. The NRA supported the proposed bill, but the Republican governor, who has supported concealed carry and open carry laws in the past, vetoed it.“I believe the firearms laws we currently have in place are effective, appropriate and minimal, and serve to reassure our citizens that people who are carrying handguns in this state are qualified to do so,” she said in a statement explaining her veto.

Gun Grabbers Want to Shut Down Publix
— Let’s Give Them Some Business
https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/gun-grabbers-shut-down-publix/?ut...
As part of their all-out war against the Second Amendment and National Rifle Association, anti-gun activists have begun targeting businesses even tangentially connected to the NRA with boycotts and negative publicity campaigns.
The Tampa Bay Times reported Thursday that popular Lakeland, Florida-based grocery chain Publix is the latest to draw fire from the leftist gun grabbers, who are incensed that the corporation made a sizable donation to a Republican gubernatorial candidate who describes himself as a “proud NRA sellout.”
That candidate is Adam Putnam, who currently serves as the state’s commissioner of agriculture and is running against GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis in the Florida primary to replace outgoing Republican Gov. Rick Scott.
Putnam loudly opposed the recent gun control measures signed into law by Scott in the wake of the Parkland school massacre, which included the implementation of a three-day waiting period on firearm purchases and a raising of the minimum age for all gun purchases to 21 years of age.
In an interview with NRATV, Putnam revealed that while gun ownership has increased and roughly 1.8 million Floridians hold a concealed weapons license, crime in the state is at a 46-year low. He encouraged gun owners and Second Amendment advocates to become more involved in defending their constitutional rights.
Putnam stated in regard to the new minimum age law, “If you are 18, you can fight and die for this country. … And yet, you wouldn’t be able to be trusted at the same age to go to the sporting goods store and purchase a shotgun to go dove-shoot, or purchase a firearm and go to the local shooting range.”
As for the new three-day waiting period, Putnam noted that Broward County had already instituted a five-day waiting period, yet the Parkland shooter legally purchased a gun after waiting those five days and waited more than a year before he used it to commit mass murder.
The Times reported that Publix had contributed $670,000 to Putnam’s campaign, not because of his outspoken support for the Second Amendment or the NRA — to which Publix has never donated and has no affiliation — but due to fact that he is a “hometown candidate” who is very “pro-business.”
Nevertheless, liberal and progressive gun grabbers have mounted a boycott against Publix over that campaign donation. They have taken to posting pictures of receipts from other grocery chains to display their disapproval.
Though The Times seemed subtly supportive of the effort, even they were forced to admit there weren’t any “obvious signs” it had any impact on the number of shoppers at the incredibly popular chain. The newspaper also noted that a counter-effort had sprung up of people purposefully shopping at Publix in a show of support.
Fox Business reported Publix has received remarkably high ratings in customer satisfaction over the years, and was recently ranked by Forbes as the seventh-largest private company in the U.S. based on annual revenue, as it took in roughly $34.6 billion in 2017.
The chain operates more than 1,100 stores in seven states across the southeast, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. They employ more than 190,000 employees total.
“As the largest private employer in the state of Florida, and with the majority of our stores and our corporate headquarters located here as well, we have a history of supporting candidates focused on job growth and a healthy Florida economy,” Publix said in a statement to Fox Business.
“We regret that some of our political contributions have led to an unintentional customer divide instead of our desire to support a growing economy in Florida,” the statement continued.
Publix added that it is evaluating its “processes to ensure that our giving better reflects our intended desire to support a strong economy and a healthy community.”
Hopefully that evaluation doesn’t result in their bowing to the whims of anti-gun activists and withdrawing support from a pro-business candidate they favor simply because that candidate is also an outspoken supporter of the Second Amendment.
A little extra support from the pro-gun community could go a long way toward ensuring that doesn’t happen.
