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.

Back when my neck of the woods had steel mills, bars would open at around 6 AM to cater to the 11 PM - 7 AM shift guys. So you could walk into a bar at, say, 8 AM and find it very busy.
No mention of steel mills in this article, though. 🙂
The party never stops . . .
When did men stop being able to accept that women get to choose whether or not to be with them?
Same thing for refinery guys in Marcus Hook PA.
I was working an electrical distribution job and walked by a bar…packed at 0730.
Somewhere around 1200 BC.
I guess you’re right. But it wasn’t as easy to get your hands on a laser-sighted pistol back then.
The exact same time women didn’t accept the same, which is always for certain people.
Lol
Only mean to demean one other Gavin.
