Breitbart by AWR Hawkins21 Oct 2021
Surveillance video shows a retired U.S. Marine taking a gun away from an alleged armed robber who entered a Yuma, Arizona, convenience store early Wednesday morning.
CBS 13 reports that the incident occurred in a Chevron gas station when three suspects entered the store, one of whom was allegedly armed.
The retired USMC, who was near the counter when the suspects walked in, immediately turned on the alleged armed suspect and took away his gun.
FOX 8 notes that the former USMC was able to detain the suspect after disarming him, but the other two suspects fled the scene.

‘Marine Corps taught me not to [mess] around’: Veteran disarms robber during stick up at convenience store

WASHINGTON — A Marine Corps veteran is being heralded in Yuma, Ariz., for his quick reaction in disarming a would-be robber Wednesday at a gas station convenience store, according to the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office.
James Kilcer’s heroics were captured in eight seconds of surveillance footage that show him standing with his back to the store’s front door as two masked men — one with a handgun and another with a bag — enter the store. The armed robber immediately pointed the gun directly at Kilcer, who turned to see the two men.
The armed robber then turned the gun toward the cashier. That’s when Kilcer quickly acted, grabbing the handgun. He then wrestled the robber to the ground and out of the camera’s view. He also hit the man in the face with a bag of drinks, The Associated Press reported Friday.
“I guess I was just in the right place at the right time,” Kilcer said, according to the Yuma Sun. “I was doing what needed to be done.”
