It is, however, one of the outcomes, and is not represented. I'm not demanding it should be added, but I think it makes the "Good guy with a gun" argument even weaker.

No fucking way I'm pulling out my gun if I think there's a >0 possibility Police are on the scene. Now I have to not only worry about taking care of the bad guy, but also about being shot to death by police.

How many of those 12 citizens that stopped the attacker had that happen too?

Personally I don't think it's worth sacrificing the clarity of the image with even more rare specifics.

Well out of 12, there were 4 posted when the good guy with a gun dies. That isn't including any of the ones we don't know about, but that would be a 33% that you would die if you are a good guy with a gun and you "save the day."

Man, it's just a point of discussion. I literally said I'm not demanding it should be added.

And, in the examples I gave, at least two of them did stop the attacker before being killed by police.
