CCTV street security camera footage from well south of the border shows an incident in which an armed civilian was able to protect himself and his girlfriend from four attackers, at least one of which was armed with a handgun.

The two pedestrians can be seen standing on the sidewalk minding their own business, when a group of four males stroll by. It's not clear if any words were exchanged between the two parties, but the group of thugs decides to turn around and attempt to victimize the couple.

The pedestrian sensed the possible threat and maintained situational awareness. He was ready when they came sprinting back. He pulled out his gun and fired multiple shots into and at his attackers. The thugs scattered into the night. It's not clear if they sustained any significant injuries.
