Kevin Holland's out here making absolute king moves:

ABC13 says the gunman, 24-year-old Jesus Samaniego, entered the Ra Sushi restaurant on Monday and fired a shot into the ceiling movie-style to get everyone's attention.

"I saw him aiming it at the ceiling," says the man who initially stopped Samaniego after the shot was fired. "I just reacted."

That man, who wishes to remain anonymous, quickly jumped into action as the incident unfolded.

"I tackled him to the ground," he said. "I kind of kneeled him in the wrist so he couldn't use his hands."

Other diners rushed in to keep Samaniego contained.

One of those diners was Kevin Holland.

"If it wasn't for the quick thinking of a good Samaritan taking the gun away, who knows what would have happened," said HPD Sgt. Ricardo Salas.

According to Salas, 40-50 people were inside the restaurant at the time of the incident.

"We were eating, and the next thing you know, a gunshot just popped off. So everything paused, and then everybody started running to get down under a table," said Patrick Robinson, one of the people who helped stop the accused shooter.

Lemme tell ya, if you think you're gonna wrestle out of the hold of a UFC pro, you're kidding yourself.

Holland also stopped a car thief last fall, so the guy is definitely a real-life superhero with some stones of steel:

He's also an enterprising capitalist, releasing this tweet after the news broke of his heroics:

No motive has yet been reported in the latest incident.

Kudos to the dude who had the instant bravery to rush the guy, and hats off to Holland and the rest of the diners who probably saved everyone's lives!
