Defensive Gun Use of the Day: Open Carrier Stops Liquor Store Mass Shooting
A Conyers, Georgia open carrier returned fire at a man who had already killed two people. The attack appears to be a planned mass shooting. The attacker was armed with a semiautomatic pistol, which he is seen firing in the video above. When the open carrier, Todd Scott, returned fire, the active shooter stopped the attack, and fled the store . . .
As wsmv.com reports:
A customer of a Rockdale County liquor store said he opened fire on a gunman who shot and killed a store owner and another customer. …
Police said Pitts left the liquor store, but later returned and opened fire on the owner and customers.
“I assume that this man was not going to stop, so I came up,” said Scott.
Scott was carrying a weapon and fired a shot at Pitts. He said he is not sure whether Pitts was struck.
Scott appears to be carrying a Smith & Wesson 4013TSW, in a Serpa retention holster. The pistol is clearly marked .40 S&W.
Scott wasn’t sure if he hit the shooter, because when he returned fire, the attack stopped and the attacker fled the store.
