Every year, mass shootings are prevented by armed citizens, and these stories go with very little reporting, or completely un-reported altogether.
| Year | Name(s) | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1997 | Joel Myrick, Luke Woodham | A student came on campus armed with a gun. Assistant principal Joel Myrick, also with a gun, prevented the student from going on a Columbine-style rampage.[1] |
| 2016 | James Howard | Gun shop owner refused to sell a gun to a customer, even though he passed a background check.[2] |
| 2016 | Everardo Custodio | An Uber driver was waiting for pedestrians to cross the street when a gunman began firing into the crowd.[3] |
