Former Marine takes a bullet to foil robbery

Jeffrey Williamson who served in the Marine Corps in the 90s, was shot while he foiled a robbery of a convenience store in Houston;

“Just to get their attention, I just walked out. They confronted me, and I didn’t say anything – I just walked out,” Williamson recalled. “I closed the door, and the guy was still saying whatever he was saying – curse words, whatever – and then I just stood there, and that really irritated him. And I wouldn’t let him out.”

Williamson said the suspect got angry and started kicking the door. Then, the second suspect, who had the gun, jumped back over the counter, came over to the door and shot through the glass, striking Williamson in the shoulder.

“The bullet went in and out. I didn’t notice at the time, but it’s nothing compared to what happens in the military,” Williamson said.

Americans are lucky that such people live among us.
