It was nice of him to collapse and bleed out outside.

This day keeps getting better and better!

Saw this yesterday and probably watched in 20 times.

Just a great video all around

I love the showmanship of pointing his pistol at the ceiling as he made his grand entrance.

BTW, looks like the BG had a S&W 5900 series pistol.

I've a few times posted the Youtube of a Chicago LEO who survived 15 shootouts, so I won't link it again, but he says that in every one he fired one handed and did not use his sights. So, at the range I make sure to do at least a couple of mags one handed and point and shoot. Of course it's much easier to limp wrist and get a stovepipe firing one hand. But if you practice, it's really not hard to counteract that tendency.

Do you think people actually are NOT using their front sights, or is that using the sight just doesn't get remembered?

I've heard discussions where people don't remember drawing their gun. Perhaps under stress, we simply tend not to recall actions taken which are muscle memory.

There have been a few videos recently of BG's trying to use guns around good guys. Glad to see the good guys win again.

Alway fun to watch good guys with good training deal with punks with no idea how to use a gun.

Looks like Stop, Drop and Roll doesn't work so well for gun fire.

Nice job by the guard.

Watched as one stayed in his cubby while the othe walks over a slowly use his foot to casually close the swinging door. Neither looked interested in helping the guard.
While they got their phones out, it doesn't seem 911 was called.

Better angle below. You can see the results of a round penetrating his body and vest, look for the white insulation to appear on the killified's back, and falling to the floor behind him, at 20 seconds.

Interesting how the counter tops became a factor.

Awesome, score 1 for the good guys!

every bank I have dealt with had a alarm button that goes right to the company. Dialing 9-1-1 can take some time depending on the PSAP location.

not just your regular mall cop. Looks like he's retired. Good for him his skills were still there.

I'm glad no customers were there. I wonder how it would have turned out if there were customers present. But I'll take this ending.

F idiot. Guess Einstein didn't find the banks that don't have a visible armed guard posted.

And they say a pistol is not a good man-stopper.

I would like to ask the perp his opinion, but since he collapsed and bled out in the doorway, that's not going to happen.

Righteous shoot. That perp was dangerous.
As Special Agent Utah would say: "I hope it was worth it"

Does anyone know the caliber pistol the security guard used?

Wow. I watched the video before I read the article. My first thought was "that guard has some experience" not necessarily because of the shootout but the way he went up to the robber after to secure him. I'd say him being behind the half door was good for him it gave a little cover when everything started. Also like how his "tap, rack, bang" looked second nature; he didn't seem to take his eyes of the threat, cleared the weapon, and came back up firing with two hands on target. The dipshit crumbling half way out the door was the icing on the cake.

Here’s an important little safety tip: If a professional has just been in a gunfight with a bad guy, don’t go running up to “help” him. In this case the guard seemed pretty squared away, and even checked the area to ensure there were no other threats and to break any tunnel vision, but many officers would be very tense and jumpy after an incident like this and would not appreciate being approached from the rear. Call to report the incident and watch from a distance but don’t “help” unless it’s obviously needed or requested.
