VIDEO: Senior Shoots at Would-Be Thieves in Florida

Posted By: David Woodard · 7/18/2012 1:42:00 PM

When armed robbers enter an area demanding your cash and valuables, police give the advice to do as the robbers say.

But as you'll see in this clip, a 71-year-old senior has no interest in giving up anything.

The incident occurred near central Florida, when two men, masked and armed with handguns, walked into an internet cafe Friday, and told everyone inside to give up their valuables.

As people put their hands in the air, one man reached for his holster, and began shooting at the suspects.

The septuagenarian struck one of the suspects and the two fled.

Nineteen-year-olds Duwayne Henderson and Davis Dawkins were later arrested and face attempted armed robbery with a firearm and criminal mischief charges.

71-year-old Samuel Williams had a permit for his weapon, and state officials say the shooting appeared justified.

    gotta love this guy! 71 and on internet, good for him!!! great shot too. hope he hit the guy in the nuts so he can't reproduce more criminals

    Hope they fry the 2 scumbags. Perfect reason why we shouldn't leave guns to cops alone.

    Cops agenda is to keep guns from us because they want to protect their little club, and their own when they screw up

    I have no problem witth a law abiding citizen owning a handgun and using it for a lawful purpose, as seen in the video. It was a good example in the use of a handgun that sent some armed thugs running...

    What can we do with armed thugs... or members of gangs in Canada?

    1. Build more Penitentiaries or space to lock up violent offenders/killers
    2. Change the laws that protect violent young offenders that kill people
    3. Much harsher sentencing for using an illegal gun in the commission of crime
    4. First degree murder conviction keeps killers behind bars for the remainder of their natural life. Longer sentence for second degree murder conviction...

      @KenH You are completely right but I wonder why our morron government never thought of these? Instead of consentrating on the problem and the criminals, they trying to ban guns and bullets, those criminals not buying their guns and bullets from a Bass Pro Shop anyway....

    Bravo! Canadians have to face the reality that as long as the thugs know they are the only ones with guns we'll never be safe.

    The police ask for witnesses but they themselves are afraid of retaliation.
    That's why the police station parking lots have solid fences. They are afraid their personal cars will be identified and their families will be in danger.

      @Joe Agree with Joe, law biding and trained individual must have a right to defend themselves and their love one. In the hand of responsible individual, firearms is a tool not a weapon.
