This type of thing happens all the time but the media rarely prints this information.

Not only does it happen all the time, the anti-gun folks are trying to tell the general public that it rarely ever happens.  They're jumping on the "good guy with a gun" saying by claiming stats don't back it up.  Of course they will once again be exposed as liars, as there are stats that back it up, and the number would be even higher if they had to report cases where a gun was only shown, but not fired, in order for someone to have stopped a crime.
