A crazed attorney from Austin, Texas, was caught on camera allegedly trying to shoot his ex-girlfriend at the bar she worked at on Saturday, police said.
Gavin Rush, 41, is out on bond after he allegedly stormed into the Anderson Mill Pub with a gun around 11:30 a.m. Saturday and approached his ex, who was behind the bar, according to arrest records obtained by KVUE.
He put a small leather satchel on the table and asked if he could speak with her. When she said no, he drew the gun and pointed it at her, with the laser sight aimed at her chest, according to the affidavit and dramatic surveillance footage of the incident shared by Austin City Councilwoman Mackenzie Kelly.
Video of the incident shows two customers at the bar leap into action and tackle Rush, who reportedly fired off multiple shots in the struggle, and held him until police arrived. Fortunately, nobody was struck.
The woman told police that he had just learned that she was in a new relationship, and had recently stopped answering his text messages after he threatened to harm himself and her new partner.

“I don’t remember doing this, but I pushed his hand up and the gun went off,” he told KVUE. “Then we started flying backwards. I turned and grabbed him around the neck and another shot went off.”
One of the customers said Rush tried to shoot himself in the head as they took him to the floor, but the man said he was able to keep Rush’s finger off the trigger.
He said three shots were fired in total, including one that shattered the mirror behind Rush’s ex-girlfriend.

we see what you did there
Those other patrons reacted pretty darn fast - probably saved a life or two. Good on them.
Needs more range time,,,
“... A crazed attorney from Austin, Texas, ... “
Since Austin has mostly leftist crazy people inhabiting it, narrowing it down to ‘attorney’ does make the working set a bit more manageable.
One, this TWOT is not a man. Might have been born male, but never grew up to become a man.
Two, he is a lawyer. Suspend most societal rules.
Three, this is a very blue city. Nuf said.
Tres bon.
This reminds me of a story my BIL told me. He said an acquaintance of his asked him how he could get away with murder. My BIL thought this was an intellectual puzzle so he thought awhile and said, “I would drive at least 100 miles to another town and buy a used shotgun at a pawn shop, return, kill the fellow and then drive another 100 miles or so in the opposite direction and throw the shotgun in the biggest body of water I could find.”
To his shock the fellow did just as my BIL instructed. But he killed the guy in a bar with 8 witnesses. You can’t fix stupid.
Quick reaction by the bar patrons.
It’s a working class bar in Texas where real men hang out. Not a mall in Michigan full of gibmedats.
Why is the councilwoman the source?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you’ll never see me no more
If you have time for a good chuckle this morning, watch this:
Stand Up Comedy -Dusty Slay does a full breakdown on It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere
Good thing it wasn't a little later in the day...
Watch those Texas boys leap into action, instantly, violently, and effectively.
It makes one proud to be a Texan.
If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.
Likely opens earlier than that to prepare for the lunch time crowd.
quote “Gavin Rush, 41, is out on bond”
attempted murder... and already out on bond!!!!!!!!!!!
WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he had taken a selfie in Pelosi office on Jan 6th he would STILL BE IN JAIL!!!!!!!!

This caught my attention too. The guy points a gun at his ex-girlfriend, gets into a fight, tries to kill himself, and he’s out on bail?
Sometimes its hard to say goodbye. 😉
You gotta love Texas.
Three women in the bar. Three men in the bar.
Guy comes in, points a gun at one of the women.
All three women immediately clear out of the bar.
All three men wind up piling up on top of the guy.
This is the way the World should work.
Gotta love Texas.
Except they let the guy out on bail!
