Earlier this month, a group of four drunk men were asked to leave a bar in Robbins, Illinois, in the early morning hours. Upset about being ejected, one of the men retrieved a gun and began firing at the bar’s patrons. Fortunately, the gunman didn’t kill anyone — thanks to a fast-acting bar security guard, Jemel Roberson, who managed to subdue the man on the ground.
That’s when local police arrived on the scene.
Witnesses say Roberson had the gunman face down on the ground, his knee in the man’s back and his own gun pointed at the man. Police officers, with their own firearms in hand, immediately focused on Roberson.
A group of bystanders, including patron Adam Harris, shouted to the officers that Roberson was a security guard. Roberson was wearing a sweatshirt and a hat, which both had “Security” printed on them.
Another security guard, Dorian Myrickles, says one of the police officers ordered Roberson to drop his gun, but “not even five seconds” later he opened fire. At just 26 years old, Roberson died at the scene.
