How many cooks does it take to spoil a broth?

Texas lawmen don't screw around, especially the ones near the border.

If a good man with a handgun had been there AND been close to the shooter AND not been targeted AND been able to engage him within the first few seconds of the event, then he MIGHT have been able to influence the outcome.

But the odds of a good guy getting shot by first responders if he has to hunt the bad guy are off the charts, and they get worse the longer it takes to find and engage the bad guy. Just look at the Dayton shooting--the police killed the shooter in less than 30 seconds. I'm betting that anyone else who pulled a pistol in that time would have been killed, too. Plenty of thoughts and prayers for the good guy afterwards, but that's little consolation.
