Amazing!! No one got shot. This incident won't make it onto anyone's statistical radar because it's an example of using a legally owned and carried firearm as a deterrent to crime without actually discharging it. A far more common occurrence than ever makes it to the media.
For BOK, NORM, and DAN....there are laws against this 18 year old legally owning or carrying that handgun. No new laws are needed.
A security incident involving an armed robber at the Anchorage 5th Avenue mall in downtown ended safely Sunday afternoon after another armed man helped detain the suspect, police say.
Police spokeswoman Anita Shell said in a statement Sunday evening that about $1,200 in goods from the robbery's target, the Buckle Clothing Store, were recovered during the arrest of 18-year-old Yan Bangout. Nobody was injured during the incident.
“Employees believed the man was attempting to conceal the clothing in a bag while in the fitting room and alerted mall security,” Shell wrote. “As the suspicious man left the store, he was confronted by mall security and a struggle ensued over the bag containing stolen goods. During the struggle, the suspect drew a gun from his waistband; however, a good Samaritan, also armed with a gun, stepped in and assisted security in taking the man into custody.”

You can't cure stupid. Sometimes the gene pool is self-cleaning.
