A concealed carrier refused to be the victim of armed robbery in an incredible act of self defense that was captured on a security video.
Cynthia Quinn hurried to the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit after learning her son Sanchez Quinn had been shot, but she was stopped by police before entering.
“When I went to my son’s room I was stopped by two police officers (who) told me to get out of my son’s room,” she told Fox Channel 2 News. “‘Why you here? You can’t be here.'”
It turns out her son was the attacker, not the victim in a shooting that occurred outside of the Super X Market near Charles and Sparling on Sunday evening. Police say the victim stopped Sanchez all by himself and may not be alive today had he not been carrying a weapon.
“I turned and looked and saw the other gentleman had a gun pointed at my face,” the man , who asked to remain unidentified, said to Fox 2. “I was able to knock his hand down and the gunfire rang out.”
The man was unharmed, but his cousin was shot four times in the crossfire. Watch the video below and you’ll see the cousin, dressed in all blue, run directly between the two men firing at each other.
“It makes me mad because you have people out here that work every day. They are innocent; you want to take from them,” the man said to Fox Channel 2 News. “These guys, I definitely feel don’t need to be back out on the street because someone else might get hurt and it might happen in a different way.”
Quinn faces charges of armed robbery, the unidentified man does not face any criminal charges.
