Surveillance video captured the moments when a man pulled out a gun in Cape Coral, and a good Samaritan shot him down.
The incident happened at Campbell Roofing Friday afternoon. The man who fired his gun was a concealed carry permit holder, but has not yet been identified. The man who originally pulled out a gun—Kevin Bruzos—is a convicted felon.
Video shows concealed carry permit holder shooting man in self-defense.
Mr. Bruzos sports a felony conviction for a Felony Battery in 2007 and a possession charge in 2009 which leads me to believe he was on parole for the initial charge, got caught with controlled substance, got his parole violated which led him to his involuntary vacation time.

A 29-year-old man was shot in self-defense and charged with aggravated assault Friday at a roofing company in Cape Coral, according to the police department.
Police said Kevin Bruzos is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. He threatened two people with a gun at Campbell Roofing located at 911 SE 15th Ave., police said.
One of the individuals Bruzos threatened was legally licensed to carry a concealed firearm and fired after Bruzos pointed his gun at the individual, who police did not identify or charge. Bruzos ignored orders from the individual to drop his gun, police said.
Man shot in self-defense after threatening 2 people with gun, police say
I really don’t know how to feel about the last sentence. Although I think that from a legal standpoint (IANAL) it will help your case giving fair warning to an armed criminal, the waiting-for-an-answer time could be disastrous if the response from the bad guy is to pull the trigger.
In any case, I am very glad only the threatening felon got injured and a Good Guy with a Gun was the one that stopped him. I do not expect the Opposition to be celebrating this outcome. What we should do is have a “Eat-In” at Publix. Order some of their sandwiches or deli platters and have a picnic outside in the parking lot, sort of Concealed Carry Tailgate Party.
Just an idea.
