Everything is a LARP until it's not. A LOT of gun spergs totally btfo by the Weaver stanced guy concealed carrying an FN 5.7 (a suppressed one at that)

Thing is, tactically and legally, we're aiming to stop the perp. If he dies later from some 5.7 rounds that doesn't matter for the purpose of stopping him from killing other people.
5.7 is marginal, but while I don't know about this particular round in general it's about 10% hotter than the hottest .22 magnum (rimfire). It's big advantage over them is it's centerfire so it avoids silent primer contamination, Unless you get a CNS hit, you have to hope just getting hit will be enough to stop the perp, and he's not for example a home invader but probably an ideological shooter. Or you get a lucky torso hit that starts bleeding him out.
But the bottom line as noted elsewhere is that this civilian and an off-duty State Trooper are believed to have deterred the perp from shooting more people, they got the job done as far as we know at this early stage. And likely will know, since there's no real case left with the perp then killing himself.
