Very good reaction by the security guard, a testament to his training and mindset. A few key points:

-Smooth draw
-Shooting while moving
-Movement is not rushed or jerked, but controlled, smooth and deliberate
-Keeping his SA and using cover when threat is gone

Yep that reset their OODA loop.

For sure he keeps up with training, wonder if the security agency requires them to take a yearly class? Great reaction for that hour of the morning, actually for anytime.

He certainly was following the 11 General Orders for Sentries.

I’d love to know who that guy is, where he learned his shit, and why he’s only working as a security guard. Frigging Securitas didn’t train him like that.

Excellent. So do we know that only one of the bad guys was shot?

Excellent gun handling and composure shown! He took the fight to them instantly, he became the feeder and was obviously well trained. Very well trained. Great example of training taking over…

One of the robbers was wounded, and the other two were chased out the door.

The one man who was hit, 18-year old Mark Spivey, is still recovering from the wounds and is not cooperating with police, they said.

Anyone haring any more details locally? How many shots? Hits:misses? Where was he hit? (Unfortunately not in the head…) Hit with what?

Am I the only one who laughed at the shoes being left behind?

Outstanding !

Textbook example of how it’s done…

That’s knock down power, boys!

He’s probably retired.

An outstanding job all around. Useful security guards, it would seem, are not just urban legend. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thought the same thing when I watched it.

Thank you for this. I would have been less civil pointing out the obvious.

Good point, but my question still holds-I’m going to guess he isn’t retired from NYPD:D

Also, this is good fodder for the next time some asshole tells me you can’t beat a drawn gun. Sure you can, especially if the person holding it doesn’t think you’re going to fight.

Casey f’n Ryback!

I’d say it is very likely he is a retired NYPD cop.

How do you explain the lack of collateral damage?

:smiley:

Real easy he wasn’t shooting on crowded NYC street.
I quess you could have done better.

Just a side observation. I’ve always felt that criminal conspiracy charges should be levied against anyone who doesn’t give up their cohorts in the crime. You want to be a hero on the street? Fine. You serve your buddies sentences for them. :smiley:

Back on topic, kudos to the security guard!
