A man with an AR-15 rifle was stopped by an unarmed security guard after entering a substance abuse treatment clinic, and the situation was caught on video.
A video clip spanning roughly 30 seconds shows the unarmed guard standing in the vestibule of Alba de Vida, opposite a reception desk and in front of a closed glass door that looks like it leads to a waiting area for patients. The gunman approaches the vestibule through the front entrance and fires one shot into the wall, before the security guard hands something off to an employee behind the desk and proceeds to forcibly restrain the gunman while other staff and patients disappear from view.
The security guard pins the gunman to the ground as another guard arrives just before the surveillance footage cuts out. As the guards struggled to restrain to gunman, his gun discharged two additional times, according to the Buffalo Police Department, but no one was struck inside the clinic. "This could've gotten ugly really quick," said Erie County District Attorney John Flynn, WIVB reported. "Due to the quick action — quite frankly heroic in my opinion — by the two security officers, no one got hurt there."
Police confirmed that Griffin was taken into custody in a statement last week. They suspect that he as also involved in another shooting that occurred at the 100 block of Pennsylvania Street, less than two miles away from the clinic, just before the one at Alba de Vida. Detectives say a woman was shot in the leg while inside her residence and transported to a nearby hospital for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
