(Photo: 7 News\/Potter County Sheriff&#8217;s Office)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A man stopped two men assaulting a security guard in the parking lot of a Home Depot hardware store in Texas. Armed with a pistol, the man held one of the two men at gunpoint until police arrived. The other man was able to flee the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The Home Depot called the local Amarillo, Tex. police about a robbery, but before they were able to get to the hardware store things had already turned from bad to worse, <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7amarillo.com\/news\/local\/citizen-assists-with-arrest-of-man-trying-to-rob-home-depot\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"armed-bystander-stops-home-depot-tire-iron-attack\" title=\"Armed Bystander Stops Home Depot Tire Iron Attack\">reports local ABC affiliate 7 News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The police confirmed suspect Ricky Solis, 35, took power tools from the store without paying for them. A Home Depot loss prevention officer approached Solis in the parking lot, who tried to make a run for it.<\/p>\n<p>The guard caught Solis and a fight broke out between the two when a second suspect arrived to help Solis. The second man kicked the guard in the face then went back to his car to get a tire iron.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when help arrived: an armed citizen. Drawing his pistol on the two assailants, he ordered them to get on the ground. The second suspect turned away, got back into his vehicle and fled, but not Solis, who was taken into police custody as soon as they arrived.<\/p>\n<p>Police haven&#8217;t released the Good Samaritan&#8217;s name but said he kept Solis on the ground at gunpoint while the loss prevention officer used his own cuffs to detain him. No shots were fired and no other people were harmed.<\/p>\n<p>The security guard suffered light injuries that did not need medical attention. The property was returned to the store, and the Amarillo police are still on the lookout for the second suspect who remains at large.<\/p>\n<p>This is a reminder that private, and even public security forces are not always adequate and that no security is faster than personal security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is hardly the first incident at Amarillo, Tex.
