Bill Gore, San Diego County sheriff, told reporters on Saturday the officer fired as the gunman was fleeing, missing the suspect but hitting his car. Police said on Sunday that Oscar Stewart, a 51-year-old worshipper from nearby Rancho Bernardo, saved lives by rushing at the gunman and chasing him to his car outside.
