WFAA reports: [Arlington] Police flooded the Zona Caliente Sports Bar at about 6:15 p.m. after receiving calls of an active shooter.
Lt. Christopher Cook said it all began when Jones walked into the bar, yelling and saying incoherent things. Perez, a manager, tried to calm him down before Jones shot Perez.
Then, a customer at the bar pulled out his handgun and shot and killed Jones. Police have confirmed the customer had a CHL and charges won’t be filed against him.
“He made the decision to engage the shooter, fearing there would be other loss of life,” said Cook.
The shooter James Jones, 48, and employee Cesar Perez, 37, were pronounced dead at the scene.
