Zamudio talks with Ed Schultz about taking the safety off of his pistol, coming onto the scene and finding one of the other tacklers of the gunman holding the gun. He went after him and told him to drop it, which the guy did. The crowd called out that he was going after the wrong guy, so he jumped on the gunman and helped hold him down.

At 5:05 in, he mentions that he almost shot the wrong guy.

Thank heavens this kid was level headed and didn't just react out of shock.
