This guy barely stopped to think before saving the day. The perp got off one shot (in the wrong direction) and it was over.
On Thursday morning, a man walked into the lobby of the Alba de Vida substance abuse treatment clinic in Buffalo, N.Y., holding an AR-15. He fired one round into the wall before an unnamed security guard forced the man against a wall, took him outside and then pinned him to the ground with the help of another security guard.
The incident was caught on surveillance footage recently released by Buffalo police. The footage shows the man, 48-year-old Jeremy Griffin of Williamsville, N.Y., entering the clinic and brandishing the weapon before being confronted by a security guard.
Griffin then appeared to fire a shot. The security guard then ran toward him, pinning him against the wall. The two struggled before the guard was able to drag Griffin outside, while another security guard followed him.
Nobody was hurt. Part of the reason is the guard had the guts to go at the bad guy.
Part of it is because the gunman had no idea how to aim or fight in close-quarters with a long gun. He just fired off a warning shot and made demands because he's watched one too many heist movie.
Always use baddies' mistakes against them:
