Barbershop Shootout Video: Wait for the Right Opportunity
At a barbershop in South Carolina on the 26th, of January, 2016, at about 7 p.m., two armed robbers assaulted the customers of the Next Up Barber and Beauty Shop. The robbers appear to be career criminals, but they made fatal mistakes, as can be seen in the video. It is very difficult to keep focused on everyone, the loot, and maintain control of the scene. When the robbers become complacent, the legal gun carriers make their move.
The Pistol Robber in the light colored hoodie comes in first, from the left side of the screen, probably where an entrance is. It appears that the Legal Gun Carrier (LGC) with the concealed carry permit in the center chair is considering drawing. His right hand goes under the barber sheet, then comes out as the Shotgun Robber appears on the scene. The Shotgun Robber in the dark hoodie provides over sight of the crime scene for his partner and superior firepower. The shotgun looks to be a pump, maybe a Winchester 1400, probably a 12 gauge.
The legal gun carrier (LGC) is in a tough position; the Handgun Robber on his left, the Shotgun Robber on his right.
Then the robbers become complacent and careless. The Handgun Robber switches the handgun from hand to hand as he concentrates on picking up money and looking for valuables.
The Shotgun Robber decides that he needs to do some looting as well, switches from a two handed hold to one hand, and becomes careless about watching the situation and covering his partner. A full sized pump shotguns in one hand makes an awkward pistol.
At one point, neither robber is watching the Legal Gun Carrier (LGC) in the center chair, and he decides to make his move.
He draws, fires shots at the handgun man, who backpedals and goes down, hard. Then the LGC pivots and fires at the shotgun man who appears to have retreated off screen. He may be headed for the entrance.
The LGC quickly pivots back to Handgun Robber and fires another shot, pivots back toward Shotgun Robber and moves to secure that part of the shop, likely the entrance.
Reports state that another LGC with a CCW permit is also involved and fired shots, but I do not see him in this video.
