Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, April 13, 2024

A man was shot to death by an armed security guard inside a gas station after a dispute over a barbecue grill turned violent. Surveillance footage shows that a man entered the gas station amd was asked to leave by a contracted security guard, who pushed him back, video shows. The man pulled a pistol with an extended magazine from a holster, which prompted the security guard to "fire in self-defense," police said, using his sidearm to unload more than a dozen rounds. The man, 39, then shot back, police said, wounding the security guard in the thigh, and the guard responded with six more rounds from a shoulder-carried shotgun.

More from the cited article...

... The security guard, 30-year-old John Santiago, was in stable condition at Temple.

Santiago works for Pennsylvania SITE State Agents " a company run by Andre Boyer, a fired Philadelphia police officer who has become a national media personality for carrying assault-style weapons on private patrol. Boyer has also faced " and beaten " criminal charges three times, including for shocking a person with a Taser during a citizen's arrest.

Police records indicate that shortly before the fatal encounter, Harrison had pulled his SUV into the gas station parking lot, along with a commercial barbecue smoker attached to a hitch. He "attempted to begin barbecuing" and was asked to leave by Santiago.

Instead, Harrison followed the guard inside, where the gunfight ensued. ...


Wait, what?

I see in the article a reference to an "extended magazine."

What does that mean? More bullets?

thx.

From the video, I believe his last words were "Really??!?"

Pretty good actually. I might have to steal that one for myself.

The worst part is the guy seemed shocked that drawing a weapon got him shot. It's almost as if people carry guns without knowing the full consequences of doing so.

In one of the courses I took for defensive firearm use, the instructor commented on private security and their...ahem...abilities to use the gun they're certified to carry. Seeing it in action here confirms what they said...

Guard had a handgun and a shotgun, and he used them both. Dude was thorough, if nothing else.

I remember when snuff films were considered the worst thing in the world. Remember "Videodrome"?
Now they're on the 6 o'clock news.

Sometimes. Sometimes it's just a pinky finger extension, common on glocks.

Common on most compacts or subcompacts.

Or, he thought it was gangsta to have a ridiculous 30rnd mag hanging out the bottom.
