Although I’m sure the gentleman is as brave as the next security guard, I don’t understand what is “heroic,” as we generally use the term, about his asking an unknown person why he was entering the building. Isn’t that why a guard is there? And surely he had no way of knowing the person intended to shoot him or others, or he’d have taken action.
I was impressed by this part “taking a bullet in the arm before wrestling the suspect to the ground.”
I consider staying to fight after being shot to be heroic. He could have run away and let the guy into the building.
This guy takes a bullet then wrestles the armed gunman to the ground.....
And you say, “What is heroic about that?”
Really?????
First of all, anyone who takes on the job of security guard, has to expect that they are the first line of defense against a would be miscreant... doing the job to begin with raises that person above the norm, and to take a bullet while performing his duties, makes him a hero at least to the people he was serving... you take a bullet for performing your duties to protect, I’ll call you a hero whether you think you deserve it not...
