7. Seriously, who were these "peacekeepers"

I keep reading different versions of the story. Who is the man who fired the shot? Why was he authorized to have a gun and use it?

As others have commented—this is the problem with a “good “ guy with a gun. Firing at someone in a crowd means those bullets that miss the bad guy will hit someone else.

If this person was such an imminent danger how was he disarmed so easily by an unarmed bystander?

The story doesn’t answer any of the basic questions.
