Stop, or I'll Tackle You!

From the "there is no slant in the media" files comes this story from the AP in the USA today (emphasis added):

Eight employees were stabbed Friday by a co-worker at a Memphis suburban grocery store, and four were seriously injured, police said. The victims were identified only as six females and two males who worked at the Schnucks grocery. The suspect was tackled by a witness as he tried to run from the building and was held until officers arrived, Higgins said.

Hmm, so the spirit of Reggie White came over a witness who tackled and held the crazed knife wielder until police arrived. Well, that's what Reuters reported, too:

Seven people were stabbed on Friday by a knife-wielding man at a supermarket near Memphis, police said. The attacker was wrestled to the ground in a parking lot and arrested.

Oh, he was wrestled instead of tackled? Well those are close enough. But, is it the truth? Here's the first line of another AP report posted to Yahoo News on the same incident:

Two victims of a knife-wielding grocery store employee remained hospitalized Saturday after the man attacked eight co-workers and was finally stopped by a witness who pulled a gun, authorities said.

Somebody find for me where in this next part that he was tackled or wrestled:

Ingram (the assailant, Ed.), chasing one victim into the store's parking lot, was subdued by Chris Cope, manager of a financial services office in the same small shopping center, Memphis Police Sgt. Vince Higgins said.

Cope said he grabbed a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from his pickup truck when he saw the attacker chasing the victim "like something in a serial killer movie."

"When he turned around and saw my pistol, he threw the knife away, put his hands up and got on the ground," Cope told The Associated Press. "He saw my gun and that was pretty much it."

Can't have a gun in a private citizen's hands be anything but evil, ya know?
