Surprisingly enough, a mainstream newspaper actually reported on a legally armed civilian stopping a criminal with a gun.
Here's a link to the article in the Washington Post.
Gist of it is a possibly drunk person committed at least one carjacking, attempted two more, fired shots in a Wal-Mart, wounded at least two people overall and was finally confronted and fatally shot by two armed civilians in the Wal-Mart parking lot. A witness quoted in the story said of the civilian who shot the suspect: “He is a hero. If this customer hadn’t done what he did, who knows what would have happened.”
Funny, it's almost like legal CCW prevented innocent deaths here! Just imagine how much safer certain parts of Maryland would be if our state had shall-issue CCW permits and allowed civilians to defend themselves.
