An armed civilian is credited with saving several lives when he stopped a man firing shots at a Walmart in Washington Sunday.

The Tumwater Police Department identified the deceased gunman Monday as Tim O. Day, 44, of McCleary, Wash. He shot two people and tried carjacking six people. Day also fired shots inside the Walmart, but did not hit anyone inside the store.

A man who would rather not be identified stopped the crime spree when he shot and killed Day. Police say the 47-year-old man is from Oakville, Washington. He is a pastor, volunteer firefighter, and medic.

One of the people Day shot remains in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The other, 16-year-old Danner Barton, got shot in the hand by Day after Barton refused to stop his car.

“I ducked my head and I gunned it,” said Barton, who said Day fired a shot through Barton’s windshield.!
