Good Guy with a Gun #122: Tucson, AZ

Original incident: March 2, 2024. It's generally best to get away from trouble instead of shoot it, but sometimes trouble follows you. And then trouble might just need a bullet to stop it.

Three guys were out on a Saturday night in Tucson. We don’t know what they were doing, but one of them was carrying a handgun, and at around 11 PM they were in this area: Not much to see besides a cemetery and some automobile shops.

Two other men approached them: James Alvarado, 40, and an unnamed companion.

Alvarado and his companion began to assault the other three. Alvarado pulled out a gun.
