A knife-wielding grocery store employee attacked eight co-workers Friday, seriously injuring five before a witness pulled a gun and stopped him . . .
Cope said he grabbed a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from his pickup truck when he saw the attacker chasing the victim "like something in a serial killer movie."
"When he turned around and saw my pistol, he threw the knife away, put his hands up and got on the ground," Cope told The Associated Press. "He saw my gun and that was pretty much it." . . .
"He just kept saying, 'I'm insane. I wish I was never born' and that kind of stuff," Cope said. . . .

Thank you very much for this.
Here's a CNN article with a little more detail. By the way, John, just finished The Bias Against Guns. Thanks for authoring the book.
