61 Year old Florida shoots criminals during Internet cafe robbery and becomes a Hero
Authorities in central Florida say two men were trying to rob an Internet cafe when a 61-year-old patron began shooting his own gun, wounding the suspects. Surveillance video shows two masked men entering the Palms Internet Cafe around 10 p.m. Friday. The Ocala Star-Banner reports one pointed a gun at customers while the other swung a baseball bat. The video shows patron Samuel Williams pulling a handgun and shooting. He continues firing while the suspects fall over each other as they run out the door. Nineteen-year-olds Duwayne Henderson and Davis Dawkins were later arrested and face attempted armed robbery with a firearm and criminal mischief charges. They were transported to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Dawkins had a superficial wound in his left arm, but Henderson was shot in two places: his left buttock and his right hip. Both posted bail and were released. Williams has a concealed weapons permit. Bill Gladson of the Marion County State Attorney’s Office says the shooting appears justified. Neither of the men have a criminal record, authorities said Both men were arrested for attempted robbery with a firearm and will be spending a very long time in prison when it goes to trial.
