Armed Store Managers stop Gunman!

Story from PalmBeachPost.com,

“Police reported Tuesday morning that Grant, 73, entered the store through the exit despite manager Marino Hernandez’s warning not to enter that way. The confrontation escalated, Grant drew a handgun; assistant manager Roberto Espinal drew his handgun. Hernandez also pulled a gun. Grant backed out of the store, firing three times as he went, the arrest report states.

The managers, who witnesses said never returned fire, ended up surrounding Grant, who hid behind a vehicle while continuing to fire, police report. Grant eventually surrendered his weapon to the managers, once they told him police were on their way.”

If these brave managers hadn’t been armed, I wonder how things would have turned out? As mentioned in the story, the two armed managers were able to subdue the gunman and disarm him before police arrived!
