The shooter opened fire inside the establishment, injuring two people.  As he was fleeing the scene, the armed bystander opened fire, fatally injuring the shooter.

CNN:

A man walked into Louie’s Grill & Bar and opened fire, striking two people.  As the gunman was fleeing the scene, a bystander armed with a pistol confronted the shooter and fatally shot him outside the restaurant, Oklahoma City Police Captain Bo Mathews told reporters.

“Right now, all I know is that it was just a good Samaritan that was there and looks like he took the right measures to be able to put an end to a terrible, terrible incident,” Mathews said.

The shooter’s motive is not known and his identity has not been confirmed.

Four people were injured during the shooting.

A woman and a girl were shot after the gunman walked into the busy restaurant.  They were hospitalized and are expected to survive, Mathews said.

The mother and daughter were celebrating a birthday when they were injured, CNN affiliate KOCO reported.
