A good Samaritan with a concealed carry permit would have helped control a man involved in deadly aggression on Friday in a busy Seattle tourist spot.
Scott Brown was working on one of the restoration stands at the Seattle Armory, the center's food and beverage center, when the assault took place.
"I saw a girl lying on the floor, lying on someone's lap, people rushed on her," he told Q13 News. "My goal was to go outside."
Brown, who has a concealed transit permit, sued the suspect David Lee Morris while he was fleeing the scene.
"I saw the knife in his right hand, so I ran after him.I could not convince him to try to put the knife," he told Q13 News. "We continued to walk back and forth."
In a video shot by a witness, Brown can be seen confronting Morris. Brown said that he had never wanted to shoot anyone, but simply prevent Morris from escaping.
"The goal was to stay focused," he said. "There were people everywhere, and he's focused on me, he does not run after others, he's focused on me."
In court documents obtained by KOMO News, Morris admitted to killing Gabrielle Garcia, 28 years old. Morris said he and Garcia had a 5-year-old son who witnessed the assault.

The 30-year-old told the authorities that the couple had relationship problems and Garcia had recently filed a protection order against him, according to court documents obtained by the television channel.
After being stabbed, Morris would then have asked Brown to shoot him.
"Once he saw that I had a rifle, he tried to convince me to shoot him," Brown told Q13 News. "(He said) make sure I do not miss, make sure the shot counts, he killed the only person he ever loved."
Another man finally joined Morris and Pepper Morris until the police arrived, using a stun gun and stopping, reported Q13. Morris is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
