At a Best Buy these thieves were looking to put the hurt on some employees...till an armed citizen used their legal gun to stop them...
Armed Citizen Saves The Day, Stops Attack In Best Buy Parking Lot
t all started when three thieves decided to apply a five-fingered discount to thousands of dollars of electronics at that Best Buy. According to authorities, loss prevention employees were able to stop one of the suspects at the door, but two others managed to make it to their getaway car.
Instead of driving away, however, they ended up driving straight towards those employees and the suspect they had pinned to the ground. From KFOR in Oklahoma City:
The bystander said he believed they missed, then reversed, and it looked like they were going to charge again.
That’s when he said he decided to draw his weapon and point it towards the driver.
He said the driver stopped, put his hands up, then drove away from the scene.
Sgt. Lewis said police don’t encourage civilians to draw their weapons because it could result in worsening an already dangerous situation.
However, in this case, he said the bystander was well within the law.
“If an individual feels like they’re doing a service by protecting themselves or someone else that may be injured, then it’s hard to say they did the wrong thing,” Sgt. Lewis said. “In this situation, it turned out for the best.”
