Hero Security Guard Prevents Mass Shooting With Some Courage and Quick Thinking
Daniel Bonfiglio Published 11/15/2022
This Buffalo security guard sprang into immediate action when confronted with a life or death situation, no doubt saving many lives in the process.
While working for the Hispanics United of Buffalo, Reynaldo Beckford was at the front desk when a gunman carrying an AR-15 entered the building, and began firing shots. Beckford immediately grabbed the man, and was able to get his gun pointed towards the ceiling. Unable to remove the shooter's finger from the trigger, the tussle ensued until other security guards were able to arrive on the scene and subdue the shooter. Beckford's quick actions likely saved his own life, and the lives of many others.
Speaking in an interview with ABC, Beckford says he just saw the man and the gun, and entered survival mode, thinking of his three year old son for motivation. Ultimately, a 20 veteran of the security industry, Beckford says he was just doing his job. His quick and decisive action no doubt stopped yet another mass shooting.
