Surveillance video shows James Suh wrestle the gun away from the would-be robber.
James Suh, owner of Car Care Auto Spa, said he had inadvertently left the front door unlocked as he was doing a virtual meeting near the cash register when the robber walked in and pointed a gun in his face.
"I didn't even hear the guy come in," said Suh. "And just all of a sudden, this guy's just got a gun on me.""He's pulling the slide back, and I could see he's having problems with it. And he's threatening me but at the same time, he's messing around with his gun," said Suh."In my mind, it just felt like it wasn't as much of a risk to suddenly go for it," he said.
The man took off out the front door. Suh said he was wearing a dark hoodie and mask, so he couldn't get a good description, but is thankful the situation played out the way it did. "It doesn't seem to be the best decision I ever made. I definitely was acting from emotion more than anything. I don't think it was necessarily the smartest thing to do. On the balance, it was a couple hundred dollars versus my life. So is that worth it? I would say no."
Short of keeping the doors locked at all times and buzzing customers in, Suh said he doesn't see an immediate solution to improving his safety.By clicking Sign Up, I confirm
