When two robbers burst into a Florida internet cafe…one waving a gun, the other a bat…a 71-year-old man stepped into action.
The incident happened Friday in Marion County, Florida at the Palms Internet Cafe…and the entire incident was caught on surveillance cameras.
Two masked men, later identified as Duwayne Henderson and Davis Dawkins, both 19, entered the cafe and started to round up patrons.
Dawkins is seen swinging a bat at something off screen, which was later identified as a $1,200 computer screen.
Samuel Williams is being hailed as a hero this week after he sprung into action and not only broke up the robbery…but possibly saved other customers from harm as well.
As explained by Ocala.com, “As Henderson turns his back, Williams pulls out a .380-caliber semi-automatic handgun, stands from his chair, takes two steps, nearly drops to one knee, and fires two shots at Henderson, who bolts for the front door.”
“Williams takes several more steps toward the door and continues firing as Henderson and Dawkins fall over one another trying to exit the building. The two eventually run off screen.”
Both of the crooks suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds and were later captured. And according to police, Williams — a licensed concealed carry gun owner — won’t face any repercussions.
Henderson remained in the Marion County Jail late Monday in lieu of a $31,000 bond. Dawkins was released Sunday after posting an $11,000 bond.
