In what could have been a tragic reenactment of the massacre that took place at an Orlando nightclub in 2016, a security guard in Huntsville, AL, shot and subdued a would-be killer before he could injure anyone at a local nightclub.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs he tried to go towards the door\u2026 that\u2019s where I had to go ahead and put him down,\u201d the guard, who gave her name as Latoya, told local media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Latoya explained that the suspect, 33-year-old Samuel Demario Williams, had been involved in an argument in the club, and security personnel had escorted him outside. That\u2019s when he grabbed an AK-47 from his car and began firing.<\/p>\n

“He started to make moves towards the door he still was firing off shots,\u201d Latoya said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided that I had to make a choice–to go ahead and stop him from entering the club. I was behind a vehicle\u2026 basically just maneuvered around the vehicle as he maneuvered around the other side of it to make sure I was properly concealed and covered,” she added.<\/p>\n

The guard shot Williams at least once, in the leg, and then helped treat his wounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not here to kill anyone,\u201d she said. \u201cI saw one of the entry wounds was on his thigh which can sometimes be a somewhat dangerous place to bleed out. I keep a trauma kit and tourniquet on me as everyone who carries a gun should.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Thankfully, he is still alive today,\u201d she added. \u201cOne day he is going to have the opportunity to make better choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams was released on bond after being charged with shooting into an unoccupied vehicle, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, menacing, and reckless endangerment. He was the only person injured.<\/p>\n

The incident took place at 3208 Club<\/a> in Huntsville during a New Year\u2019s Eve party. Headlining the event was rapper Boosie BadAzz, who witnessed the incident and urged his fans<\/a> on Instagram to \u201clearn how to fucking act at my show.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Man, I just outside of the club 3208 and it just had a muthafuckin’ shootout in front of the club,” he said. “Shootout in front of the door, shit like the wild, wild, west, man.”<\/p>\n

While the national mainstream media can be counted upon for wall-to-wall coverage of successful massacres, no large outlets have picked up this story beyond rap and gun-related publications.<\/p>\n

Police say the investigation is still ongoing, and local media<\/a> reports that authorities are seeking to question two women in relation to the incident, both of whom have been charged with \u201ctampering with physical evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
