Another good guy with a gun doing good guy things.
A man tried to use a shotgun to threaten a gas station clerk, but he didn't count on a customer in the store being a law-abiding good guy with an interest in protecting the community.
Ofa'tangikivaha Angilau (a classic Utah name right there) tried to purchase alcohol at a gas station without ID. After the cashier denied the purchase, Angilau became enraged and started shouting at the clerk.
The angry man then left the store, went to his car, drove around a bit and came back, and instead of producing ID for the purchase, he produced a shotgun.
Here's KSL in Utah:
[Riverton public information officer Nate] Slack said the man drove around, but soon came back with a shotgun, and an individual inside the gas station chose to fire and killed Angilau. After being shot, Angilau exited the store and collapsed outside, where he died from his injuries.
He said the person who shot the man has been very cooperative with officers.
'I think this is why a lot of people do conceal carry just to protect themselves in situations like this. Obviously a very unfortunate situation, but they do occur; they are rare, however, especially here in Riverton,' Slack said.
The police haven't named the hero who fired the deadly shot, but it sounds like they are thankful for his contribution to society.
