He wasn't threatening "the store," he was threatening the people who were shopping at "the store."
What is it with these "journalists."
A gun was threatening a store, and somehow a guy ended up dead. How awful.

"I don't know what his intent was, but before anything really bad could happen, he was stopped..." I like "the situation was resolved."

Thank God for that off-duty officer. This could have turned out much worse.

“I don’t know what his intent was, but before anything really bad could happen, he was stopped,” said Lenexa police Captain Wade Borchers.”
Cop be doing his job, and off duty no less.
From the wiki
Lenexa is a city in Johnson County, Kansas, United States, and part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 48,190.
It is bordered by the cities of Shawnee to the north, Overland Park to the east, De Soto to the west and Olathe to the south.

Timothy must be tired.
It seems he was the only one working at Townhall this weekend. Every article yesterday and most all of the articles today were penned by him.
but I had to chuckle when I saw the headline

Another story with a happy ending.

Armed private citizen stops criminal with gun. What a shocker. Proves we need more law abiding citizens packing a gun. According to the Democrats, it was more likely he'd shoot himself or a family member than that he's save anyone's life.

'He wasn't threatening "the store,"' What if he had missed? What if that miss instead hit an endangered shelving?
Don't tell me the store wasn't threatened, mister.

Couldn’t he just have shot the gun out his hand or just wing him? /s

Oh, and don’t forget that he was perceived as a “gentleman”. Yeesh.

"Thank God for that off-duty officer."I agree but it would have been better if a legally armed citizen with a NRA Ball Cap terminated this perp.
To: Steely Tom
I would bet they write it this way as to not be used by lawyers as poisoning the minds of potential jurors and judges.
It really makes me sick as well, but I think that is why they do such wording. Less ammo for the defense attorneys to help their case.

The armed off-duty officer stopped a potentially dangerous scene.
No. The scene was already dangerous. Really bad thought process.
