Well there is no doubt at all that they saved many lives thanks to their quick thinking, personal bravery and decisive action. Honour where honour is due, and joy as well
Every story is unique it came to a very happy ending partly due the incompetence of the wanna-be-murderer but why did those men grap their only very slim chance to stop him in such magnificient manner? There are some interesting aspects:
1. Three of them were "childhood friends who had all attended California’s Freedom Christian School and often played military games together growing up."
2. Two of them were soldiers, maybe better American soldiers and one of them came just back from a combat tour.
3. Three were large, young and fit males.
There is no doubt that the cohesion of friendship of fit and strong men with a good deal of military training greatly facilitated their unity of action, but without their personal qualities like bravery among others those factors all would have been for naught.
